Bentley: Higher Security at Football Games, other events...

When the Alabama Crimson Tide faces the Charleston Southern Buccaneers today, there will be heightened security at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Governor Robert Bentley says he has asked for increased scrutiny at major college football games as a precaution. Bentley says there have been no known threats in Alabama. However, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency will provide additional support at games at Auburn University and the University of Alabama. The governor says it was important to step up security and monitoring at large gatherings in light of terrorist attacks around the globe. The governor said fans should see increased patrols from uniformed state troopers and investigators.
