CT- Ozark Police: Connecticut man behind alleged bomb threat

Now I'll be the first to admit I was wrong, if I am, but I think this story went down differently. A guy (RSO here) walks into a church probably to talk to the minister, someone sees the EpiPen and panics, a BOMB, god call the police. Police come realize its nothing but a EpiPen and plant that the guy (RSO) called about disaster information. Notice, not only do police admit the guy (RSO) never said anything about a bomb threat, but police also will not press charges for the alleged bomb threat. Yes, there is a issue of registration, but other than that this is a case of hysteria and overreaction caused by Alabama's claims of RSOs dangerousness, and yes, a coverup to justify the overeaction.

3-17-2009 Connecticut:

OZARK – A Connecticut man who police say is a registered sex offender there had inquired about Ozark’s response to terrorist-type disasters before he spoke with personnel at Ozark Baptist Church.

Ozark Deputy Police Chief Myron Williams said Joseph Liebman entered the church around 11 a.m. Monday with what appeared to be a bomb on his backside.
The church houses a daycare with about 70 children.

While the extent of Liebman’s conversation in the church was not released, Williams said Liebman also called CARE Ambulance in Ozark and questioned the availability of emergency services in case of disasters.

Police arrested Liebman while he was walking toward the Dale County Courthouse with a stethoscope. The alleged bomb was later identified as two EpiPens, which Williams said are used for emergency insect stings and could be similar in style to an explosive.

Williams said there were no charges in reference to the potential bomb threat and that it was not fully clear if that was Liebman’s intent.

Liebman was instead charged for failing to register in Alabama as a sex offender, a Class C felony that carries up to 10 years in prison.

Liebman had been staying in the area with a friend and is awaiting the possibility of charges from Connecticut, Williams said.

“It’s still under investigation so we are learning more information, but Mr. Liebman never stated there was a bomb threat ... and he did not appear to be under the influence of anything,” Williams said.

“But as a precaution the children were removed from the facility and traffic rerouted downtown.”

Dale County Sheriff Wally Olson said the EpiPens have been sent for testing to determine whether they were filled with any explosive material.

An official with the Connecticut State Police Department said he could not confirm whether Liebman was a registered sex offender there.
