The Home Depot

at the Fayette Pavilion was evacuated early Wednesday evening after the

store manager spoke to an irate caller, police said.

The caller

said she was upset with the store "and would do anything to get back

at Home Depot," said Lt. Beverly Trainor of the Fayetteville Police

Department. Based on the bomb scares reported at Home Depot's headquarters

earlier in the day, the manager decided to evacuate the store around 5

p.m., Trainor said.

Bomb sniffing

dogs from the city of Riverdale and Fort McPherson searched the store

but found nothing suspicious, Trainor said. The store reopened around

midnight, she added.

The caller

did not mention a bomb during the brief conversation, Trainor said The

investigation into the matter is continuing, she said Thursday afternoon.
