  • Dumb of the day



    A Quincy woman admitted to police that she called in two separate bomb threats to Quinnipiac University over the weekend so that her parents wouldn’t find out that she wasn’t actually graduating from the school.

    Hamden, Connecticut, police arrested Danielle Shea, 22, after she told authorities that she phoned in the bomb scares to avoid the embarrassment of her parents finding out she was no longer enrolled at the university, and that she wasn’t going to receive her diploma.

    [....]

    After tracing the phone number back to Shea, police located the Quincy woman at the TD Bank Sports Complex, dressed in her cap and gown. Officers detained the suspect and obtained a “detailed confession” that revealed Shea wasn’t enrolled at the school this year, but had still received thousands of dollars from her mother to go toward her education. “When graduation day arrived, Shea, who had earlier purchased a cap and gown, panicked when her relatives did not see her name on the graduation roster. She then stated that she made the bomb threats in an attempt to have the graduation cancelled,” police said.

    Shea was charged with threatening in the first degree and falsely reporting an incident. She was detained at police headquarters and is scheduled to appear in court later this month.

    "Shea wasn’t enrolled at the school this year, but had still received thousands of dollars from her mother to go toward her education. “When graduation day arrived, Shea, who had earlier purchased a cap and gown, panicked when her relatives did not see her name on the graduation roster."

    Let's just get her signed up for welfare, food stamps, cell phone, and any other dole program. She obviously is qualified.

      Four years of college and too dumb to forge a diploma and transcripts and make up a plausible reason to skip graduation. Sad.

        Probably can't read or write.

          Three years. They probably teach all those things in the fourth.

            Maybe not so dumb...now her mom is focusing on the embarrassment of the felony arrest rather than the college drop out issue...kind of like stomping on someone's foot when their finger hurts...

              The "welfare" is called jail.

                I know someone who faked her college graduation. She even got her name on the list and walked at FSU. Large colleges don't give the actual diploma at the graduation, they have to be picked up from the Finance office.

                  Most people just fake it after graduation.
