The Ohio State Highway Patrol said a bomb threat targeting the Ohio Statehouse was not credible.
The threat was sent received by email Monday at 8:46 a.m. and forwarded to the patrol.
The patrol said troopers and explosive-detecting K9s conducted a thorough search of the facility and determined the area was secure.
Officials did not say exactly who the threat was sent to nor did they specify the exact nature of the threat.
The threat comes days after several government and school buildings in Springfield, Ohio were the subject of bomb threats.
The Springfield community has been put under a national microscope after former President Donald Trump falsely accused Haitian refugees in the city of eating peoples' cats and dogs in last week's debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.
Those claims have been debunked by local officials, including Gov. Mike DeWine who has appeared in multiple national TV interviews.
DeWine's office deferred all questions about the threat against the Ohio Statehouse to law enforcement.
The incident remains under investigation.
