A sophomore was arrested this weekend for allegedly threatening a Safety and Security officer.
Hanover Police arrested Michael Hulsy '97 Saturday morning at Dick's House and charged him with the misdemeanor of criminal threatening, "for threatening to commit a crime against [Safety and Security Sgt.] Mark Lancaster with the purpose of terrorizing him," a police spokeswoman said.
Hulsy, 18, said he was "relatively inebriated" when Lancaster found him asleep in the kitchen of the Lodge dormitory and brought him to Dick's House. He said a breathalyzer test revealed his blood alcohol content to be 0.15.
"I became rowdy ... I decided to tell [Lancaster] I wasn't going to stay," Hulsy said. He added that he has been treated for alcohol intoxication once before at Dick's House and did not want to pay the charge of $460 for intoxication treatment.
Hulsy said a Hanover Police officer arrived at Dick's House, heard him "say something that he thought was a threat" and arrested him. Hulsy said he does not remember what he said.
"I was drunk and definitely in the wrong," Hulsy said. "I don't know if you can consider a drunken babble as a concrete threat."
Hulsy said he will be arraigned Nov. 9 at Hanover District Court.
Neither Lancaster nor the arresting officer, Hanover Police Sgt. Michael Evans, could be reached for comment.
