FBI Part of Investigation Into Credible Bomb Threat at Illinois Ethanol Plant
Bomb technicians rendered the package safe after a one-mile evacuation, and investigators are searching the facility for other explosive devices.
- On Friday afternoon, authorities rendered a bomb safe at the BioUrja Renewables ethanol plant in Peoria, Illinois, with a 1-mile evacuation zone remaining in place Saturday as officials continued searching for additional devices.
- Peoria Mayor Rita Ali explained the wide evacuation orders were necessary because the facility is 'a plant that has ethanol and highly combustible types of chemicals,' necessitating the protective perimeter.
- About 70 residents displaced by the evacuation order sheltered at Manual Academy, while Peoria Police Chief Brad Dixon urged public patience as emergency services worked to secure the industrial site.
- FBI Special Agent Ryan Pressley is leading the investigation at the Edmund Street site, though no injuries or arrests have been reported as of Saturday morning.
- OSF HealthCare St. Francis Medical Center, downtown Peoria's largest employer, is taking 'all appropriate precautions' while working closely with local authorities to maintain a safe environment.
