BALDWIN, Mich. — Lake County Sheriff Rich Martin shared his thoughts Saturday after a bank robbery, bomb threat and school district evacuation happened earlier in the week.

The video was posted to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office’s official Facebook page.

The sheriff’s office says an unarmed bank robber in Luther handed a note to a teller Thursday that claimed a bomb was planted at an unspecified school.
