According to Clark County Sheriff’s Office Maj. Chris Clark, Sisco called her sister on April 1 and “said something to the effect of a guy was fired yesterday and has come back in with a gun.”
Clark said after the incident that deputies conducted a sweep of the manufacturing plant and found “there was no security threat of any kind at any time.”
“Everyone was completely fine,” Clark said on April 1. “There was a lot of resources that we used and put in place today all over a stupid April Fools’ joke.”
Representatives of Navistar confirmed to the Springfield News-Sun on April 1 that “an employee” has been suspended over the claim.
Sisco appeared in Clark County Municipal Court on April 2 and was given a bond of $2,500.
