Death Threats to Lower Detective Bring Villas Man’s Arrest

 

By Herald Staff

VILLAS – A 29-year-old Villas man was arrested after he allegedly threatened to shoot Lower Township Police Detective Chris Lambert in the head.
According to police, during July, the department continued its investigation into an entry of an occupied home in the first block of Wilde Avenue here.
During that investigation, police reported a “person of interest” was developed and, while conducting follow-up investigations with various subjects close to that person, a threat to shoot the detective who was working on the case was left on the answering machine of the original victim by the person.
That message was turned over to Lower Township Police Department for evidence.
After conferring with the County Prosecutor’s Office, it was determined that a charge of terroristic threats should be lodged against Michael Donnally, 29, of the first block, Georgia Avenue, Villas.
Donnally was arrested in Atlantic City and later transferred to county jail in Crest Haven on $50,000 bial set by Judge David DeWeese.
Those threats included Donnally indicating that we was going to shoot Lambert in the head, as well as other threats a gainst his life.
The original case that was being investigated remains open at this time, and it does not appear that Donnally was involved in the original entry into the occupied home.
Lambert and Detective First Class Mel Hedum investigated the case as well as the original one.
