The Oklahoma City municipal courthouse was searched Thursday morning after a bomb threat disrupted scheduled hearings.

Presiding Judge Philippa C. James canceled all Oklahoma City Municipal Court sessions while police secured the area and searched the building. The courthouse was cleared by 8:20 a.m., and court was scheduled to resume at 10 a.m.

Defendants who were affected by the closure will be notified of their new court date. Payments can be made by logging on to okc.gov.

This is a developing story.
