State Police investigate a threat at the Town of Fowler offices

On November 5, 2024, at approximately 6:37 a.m., State Police members responded to the Town of Fowler Offices, Little York Road in the town of Fowler, for a male rejected from the polling site making threatening remarks. An investigation determined a male who is a convicted felon attempted to vote, and his status indicated he was not re-registered since being released from prison. He became irate and started making threatening remarks such as burning the place down and returning with a firearm. The male fled the scene.
