Rogalski was arrested in April after police say he made harassing phone calls to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Monroe. He also called two Newtown schools that included Hawley School and Newtown Middle School.

In the phone calls, Rogalski called the Dec. 14, 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary a hoax. 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 in April.

During a court appearance on April 8, Rogalski said, “I don’t think I said anything that horrible.”
