Abc 36's bobbi mcswine is live... not too far from where all this happened.

Bobbi...police say they didn't find any explosives.

Right...according to the department...an officer saw the r-v parked downtown near belle's cocktail house around 7:40 p.m.

It sparked some suspicion because a r-v is what was used in the nashville, tennessee christmas bombing just about a week ago.

Lexington police say an explosives detection canine was brought to the rv and it "alerted" to the vehicle.

Officers evacuated people and the department's hazardous devices unit responded.

Officers say they got in touch with the rv's driver and no explosives were found.

Police cleared the scene around 10:15 p.m.

So all clear...but it did worry a lot of people tonight as they were out trying to celebrate the new year and support local businesses.

Some bars even closed early.
