An arrest in Hancock County after a threat involving Hancock Regional Hospital.

Just before 11 a.m. Thursday, officers with the Greenfield Police Department were called to the Hancock Regional Hospital on a report of threats involving a firearm to employees and staff within the hospital.

The threat was provided to the hospital electronically by an individual who was not on the hospital site. Officers with the Greenfield Police Department were quickly able to identify the individual and confirm that he was not on the hospital campus at the time of the threat, nor after the threat.
