HARRIS, Mich. (WZMQ) – On Sunday, The Island Resort & Casino temporarily halted operations due to a potential threat.
Witnesses stated that the casino entered a lockdown in the late afternoon. Around 8:45 p.m., The Island Resort & Casino published a Facebook post announcing that law enforcement had cleared the threat and confirmed there was “no ongoing danger.” The Island has since resumed normal operations.
“The safety of our guests and employees remains our top priority,” the post stated. “… We sincerely thank law enforcement for their quick response and thank our guests and employees for their patience, cooperation, and understanding.”
According to Island management, the threat was determined to be a false alarm. They say The Island Resort & Casino followed procedures to protect hotel guests, casino customers, and staff members.
WZMQ 19 News has reached out to The Island Resort & Casino and law enforcement for more information. We will provide an update when new details become available.
