SOMERSET COUNTY MAN ACCUSED OF THREATENING DAYCARE STAFF WORKERS WITH SCISSORS

A Somerset County man is due in court this week after he allegedly threatened staffers at a daycare center with a pair of scissors.  Witnesses report that 37-year-old Douglas Chonko showed up to the facility last Thursday morning waving the eight-inch scissors, screaming obscenities and trying to get inside.  The incident led workers to take sixteen children ages five and under into a saferoom until police arrived and declared the scene safe.  Chonko was later arrested and is being held in the county jail.
