SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) -- South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley has confirmed there is no danger and no explosives were found at the site of the future South Dakota Men's Prison in Lincoln County. Jackley said the Lincoln County Sheriff received concern over a potential agricultural explosive threat at the site earlier on Wednesday. DCI brought in a pair of bomb technicians and a bomb-sniffing dog to clear the area. There was ongoing site-work being done at the time of the report, and the site has now been cleared. "One of the terms that was used in the concern was dynamite," said Jackley, explaining the use of the phrase "agricultural explosive". "Explosives you would be using in an agricultural sense to perhaps remove stumps or remove items." Jackley said the concern was taken seriously and the scene was cleared by the bomb techs and dog. The impression Jackley said he received was that concerning material originated from the past, as the site was home to old agricultural buildings. "It was just a concern that there apparently previously had been those type of items in the area," he said. At this point, Jackley said both the DCI and sheriff's office have cleared the scene and it is safe for work to continue. The South Dakota Attorney General's office has announced the State Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) is investigating a report of possible explosives at the site of the new state men's prison in Lincoln County. Levitt plans expansion to its outdoor area “Lincoln County law enforcement received the first call of possible explosives at the site, and we are working together to address the concerns,” said Attorney General Jackley in a news release. “Their prompt response allowed DCI to quickly start the investigation with our DCI Bomb Unit.” This is a developing story and an ongoing investigation. The public is asked to stay away from the scene. The Department of Corrections will be presenting its annual budget hearing in front of state lawmakers at the Joint Committee on Appropriations on Thursday in Pierre. The cost for the new men's prison is $825 million and lawmakers are considering more than $200 million to finish funding the proposed prison. Law enforcement officials began leaving the scene at 4:47 p.m.
