BUTLER TWP. — Butler Township police seized a Chevrolet cargo van with two bulk containers filled with cooking oil while arresting two men who were canvassing…
An area man threatened Tuesday to âshoot upâ the office of Magisterial District Judge Daniel OâDonnell in Butler Twp. and then shoot himself, according to Butler Twp. police.
Police said Deathrice Gray, 47, of Route 940, Freeland, called a WNEP-TV employee at 11:45 a.m. Tuesday and ranted about how he had never received money that he was awarded in a court case.
He then told the employee that he would âshoot up OâDonnellâs officeâ and then himself.
Police advised OâDonnell of the threatening telephone call. OâDonnell told police that he and his staff were familiar with Gray. Because they believed the threat to be real, the building was evacuated. Court was in session that day, police said.
