Cops: Man Arrested for Harassing Phone Calls to Sandy Hook Elementary

A Wallingford man was arrested today after police say he made harassing calls to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Monroe accusing staff of fabricating the Dec. 14, 2012 shooting that left 26 people dead. 

According to police, administrative staff at the school arrived at the school this morning and found four disturbing telephone messages on the school answering machine from a male caller.

Later in the morning the same male called again and spoke with an administrative assistant at the school. Monroe police detectives along with a Monroe school resource officer investigated this complaint and traced the calls back to Timothy Rogalski, 30, at his Wallingford address, police said.

Monroe Police Detectives with the assistance of the Wallingford Police Department went to Rogalski’s home at 17 Franklin Street where he was placed under arrest.

The investigation revealed that Rogalski left messages on answering machines at two other schools in Newtown, police said.

Rogalski was charged with five counts of harassment and one count of disorderly conduct.

While he was being held in the Monroe Police Department lock-up, an officer from the Newtown police department issued Roglaski a misdemeanor summons charging him with harassment.

Rogalski is being held on a $2,500 bond and will be presented in Bridgeport Superior Court on April 8.
