BRIDGEPORT — A Wallingford man has pleaded guilty in Bridgeport Superior Court to two criminal charges stemming from his having placed multiple telephone calls on April 7 to Sandy Hook Elementary School on Fan Hill Road in Monroe. In those calls, the man claimed that events of 12/14 had been fabricated.

In Bridgeport Superior Court on May 6, Timothy Rogalski, 30, pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree harassment and to one count of second-degree breach of peace.

The judge accepted both guilty pleas.

The judge sentenced Rogalski on the breach of peace conviction to six months in jail, but then suspended the sentence, and placed him on two years’ probation. Also, the judge sentenced Rogalski on the harassment conviction to 90 days in jail, but suspended the sentence, and placed him on one year’s probation.

In effect, Rogalski was released from custody. He had been held on $50,000 bail at the Bridgeport Correctional Center since April 8, following his court arraignment on the April 7 charges.

The judge ordered Rogalski to have no contact with the schools.

Assistant Public Defender Jared Millbrandt, who defended Rogalski in Bridgeport court, said May 12, “We feel we reached the appropriate disposition” of the court case. Rogalski looks forward to moving ahead with his life, Mr Millbrandt said.

Danbury Superior Court

Mr Rogalski, however, is scheduled to appear on May 18 in Danbury Superior Court where six charges are pending against him in connection with telephone calls that he allegedly placed to Newtown locations on April 7.

Those charges are four counts of second-degree harassment, and one count each of interfering with police and refusal to submit to fingerprinting. Rogalski has not entered pleas to those six charges.

Newtown police have said they arrested Rogalski after he had placed telephone calls to Hawley School, Newtown Middle School, the Board of Education offices, and a local business.

After the calls were received in Monroe on April 7, Monroe police investigated and traced the calls back to Rogalski at his home. Monroe police, assisted by Wallingford police, then arrested Rogalski there. After Monroe police had Rogalski in custody in Monroe, Newtown police arrested him.

The Fan Hill Road school building in Monroe is being used by Sandy Hook School students until a new Sandy Hook School on Dickinson Drive in Sandy Hook is ready for occupancy for the 2016-17 school year.
