Early Saturday morning, we woke up to dozens of texts and messages from concerned citizens about a large law enforcement presence in downtown Melbourne.
We received numerous photos and videos showing Melbourne Police, Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, and SWAT surrounding The County Line bar with weapons drawn.

Traffic heading east on Strawbridge was diverted. Police state that they received a call about multiple possibly armed suspects located inside the bar which was closed for business at the time.
The ordeal lasted several hours and police say that after a thorough search of the area, no suspects could be found and there were no signs on a burglary. No arrests were made and by noon things were back to normal.
