Police swarmed a local hotel Thursday afternoon when an anonymous caller claimed to have a gun, but after the building was evacuated, the caller was not found. The call came in around 2:35 p.m., and the unidentified male told Statesboro police dispatchers he “was suicidal and had a firearm,” said Statesboro police Cpl. Justin Samples. Officers responded immediately to Baymont Inn & Suites on South Main Street, where they began looking for a possible suspect and started evacuating occupants.
