Student charged with threatening arraigned

Sung Noh '96, who was arrested last week by the Hanover Police Department on four counts of criminal threatening, entered "no plea" at his Feb. 13 arraignment in Hanover District Court.

The court treats "no plea" as a plea of "not guilty," Hanover Police Officer Chris O'Conner said.

O'Conner said Noh allegedly threatened to kill four people at a social gathering he attended on Feb. 10.

The court has set a tentative date for Noh's formal trial in early April, he said. Noh has withdrawn from the College and returned to California, O'Conner said.

Noh was granted personal recognizance at his arraignment, meaning that he did not have to pay his $40,000 bail to be released, O'Conner said.

O'Conner said he was granted recognizance because "we made an agreement with Noh that he return to California with his father where he would not be a threat to the College community."

O'Conner said "psychologists from Dick's House did not believe Noh was homicidal."

Noh "is currently receiving psychiatric treatment in California as he awaits his trial in Hanover District Court set for April," O'Conner said.

Hanover Police did not identify the victims, but said they were acquaintances of Noh's.

Hanover Police Sergeant Michael Evans previously told The Dartmouth the charge of criminal threatening carries a maximum punishment of a $2,000 fine and/or one year in jail.

Safety and Security told The Dartmouth last Monday that they are also investigating the incident.
