MONROE — Monroe police arrested a Wallingford man about 10:35 am on Tuesday, April 7, charging him with five counts of harassment and one count of disorderly conduct for allegedly placing five telephone calls to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Monroe and accusing the staff there of fabricating the December 14, 2012, school shooting incident in Sandy Hook.

After they arrived at the school on Fan Hill Road on Tuesday morning, school staff members found four disturbing telephone messages on their school telephone answering machine from a male caller, Monroe police said.

Later that morning, the same man called and spoke with an administrative assistant at the school, police said.

Police investigated and traced the calls back to Timothy Rogalski, 30, at his Franklin Street address in Wallingford, police said.

Monroe police, assisted by Wallingford police, arrested Rogalski.

Rogalski also left messages on telephone answering machines at two schools in Newtown, Monroe police said.

Newtown police arrested Rogalski on a harassment charge, Monroe police said.

Rogalski did not post $2,500 bail and was being held at the Monroe police lockup for a Wednesday, April 8, arraignment in Bridgeport Superior Court, police said.
