TALLAHASSEE, Fla — The Florida Department of Law Enforcement says agents didn't find anything after a bomb threat was made overnight in regards to the Florida Capitol. 

However, "out of an abundance of caution," the FDLE says the Capitol is closed to employees until 9 a.m. Thursday. 

Explosive-detecting K-9s and law enforcement officers swept the complex but didn't find explosive devices or anything suspicious. 

Later Thursday, the Tallahassee Police Department said officers arrested 61-year-old Mark Clark for making a false report of a bomb on property owned by the state.
