ATHENS, Ga. — The Athens-Clarke County Municipal Court on East Washington Street is closed until Monday due to a bug problem.
According to officials, pest control crews are out in force at the court due to bed bugs exposure.
“The treatment is precautionary due to a Municipal Court visitor who exhibited signs of possible bed bugs,” officials said in a statement. “The closure and treatment are only for the Municipal Court area. All other courts and courthouse operations are not affected by the closure and will remain open as normal.”
