NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) A New Hanover County judge said there is not a bed bug outbreak at the courthouse as first thought. Instead,a carpet beetle infestation appears tobe the issue.

JudgeJ.H. Corpening says those should be easier to kill and the courthouse will be back open Friday.

For Corpening, the accidental identification of bed bugs infesting the NHC Courthouse is an embarassment.

"No, I'm not aware that this [kind of]thing has ever happened in North Carolina," he said.

The courthouse closed Thursday for an extermination process.

While exterminators cleared out the bugs inside, officers did damage control outside, turning away people showing up for their court dates that have been continued to later dates.

Many were redirected to a different location and time, pleasantly surprised by the way things were handled.

Some staff members, however, remained at the courthouse filing.

According to the county, Superior Courtwas relocated to the Historic Courthouse, 24 N. Third Street.

Civil filings, to include emergency protective orders,wereprocessed at the Officeof Juvenile Justice, located at 138 N. Fourth Street.
