John D. Carpenter, 65 of Warsaw, was arrested following
multiple alleged threatening and alarming phone calls to the Wyoming County 911
Center. According to a press statement,
Carpenter made repeated 911 calls on February 15, 2017 reporting that people were

because he was bored. Wyoming County

to the door. Deputies obtained a warrant
of arrest for Carpenter from the Village of Warsaw Court, returned to
Carpenter’s residence, made entry and took Carpenter into custody without
incident. Carpenter, a convicted violent
felon, was charged with Falsely Reporting an Incident in the Third Degree and
Aggravated Harassment in the Second Degree.
Carpenter was arraigned in the Village of Warsaw Court where bail was
set at $5,000.00 cash bail or $10,000.00 bond.
Carpenter was scheduled to return to the Village of Warsaw Court on
March 6, 2017 to answer the charges.
