ATHENS, Ga (WDNews) – The Athens-Clarke County Courthouse in Athens, Georgia, is set to reopen on Monday after being closed for a week due to a bed bug infestation. Superior Court Judge Lisa Lott issued an emergency order on July 22 to shut down the courthouse, leading to the cancellation of jury trials and hearings and the suspension of various judicial activities.
Officials reported that bed bugs were found in different areas across three levels of the courthouse. The source of the infestation remains unknown.
Despite the closure, courthouse staff have worked diligently to resolve the issue and ensure the building is safe for public use once again.
