Police in Terre Haute, IN, continue to search for a man who allegedly made a bomb threat to a hospital pharmacy after staff there refused to give him methadone.
 
The suspect left a red bag at the pharmacy window at Union Hospital after being denied the drug, according to the Tribune Star in Terre Haute. He allegedly told staff there was a bomb in the bag before walking away calmly.
 
The hospital went on lockdown and relocated patients and some departments from the affected area to a safer part of the facility.
 
Police did not find any explosives in the bag, the Tribune Star reported.
