A former Quinnipiac University student, who police said dropped out of school but still collected thousands of dollars in tuition money from her mother, was arrested in her cap and gown after allegedly calling in a pair of bomb threats before a graduation ceremony on Sunday.
Hamden police said Danielle Shea, 22, of Quincy, Massachusetts, confessed to them that she called in the two bomb threats to Quinnipiac University to try to cancel the graduation ceremony at the College of Arts and Sciences.
She was arraigned on Monday and the judge said she made a “big mistake.”
Shea had paid for a cap and gown for the ceremony, but panicked when her relatives did not see her name on the graduation roster, according to a news release from police.
Police said that Shea called Quinnipiac University Public Safety at 5:38 p.m. and said that there was a “bomb in the library”
