College employee arrested for criminal threatening

Hanover Police arrested David Barr, a College employee who works at the Hinman Mail Center, around noon on Wednesday after he allegedly posted a threatening message on his Facebook account. In the post, Barr threatened to harm Hanover Police officers and their children and referenced violence at a school, according to a Hanover Police press release.

After being notified of the Facebook post by a citizen, Hanover Police issued an arrest warrant for Barr with a charge of criminal threatening.

His bail has been set at $30,000 cash with conditions and he is expected to appear in the New Hampshire 2nd Circuit Court in Lebanon on Thursday, Jan. 30.
