Graduation day bomb threat hoaxer getting psych evaluation

The lying Quinnipiac dropout who phoned in a last-minute bomb threat on her graduation day is undergoing a psych evaluation to determine whether she can stand trial.

Danielle Shea, 22, was expressionless Monday morning as her lawyer requested to delay her case in Superior Court in Meriden. The hoaxer sported a lime green top with a short black and white skirt, remaining silent during the brief court appearance.

In May, Shea called in two bomb threats on graduation day so her parents wouldn’t find out she had stopped going to school and was collecting her mother’s tuition checks. She phoned in the first call from her cell phone and when she realized no one was being evacuated, called in another one warning that “several bombs [were] on campus.”

“You haven’t cleared out graduation. That’s not a good idea,’ she said in the call.

Shea, who had made dean’s list in previous years, had stopped being a student in May 2013, according to Quinnipiac spokesman John Morgan.

“Her mother was sending her money that she believed was for tuition. What she was doing with that money, I don’t know,” Hamden Police Capt. Ron Smith said.

Despite being in “total shock” with her daughter’s graduation-day antics, Shea’s mother posted her $10,000 bail back in May and sat with her daughter in the courtroom before Monday’s appearance.

The state agreed to push the case to Aug. 13 so it could gather more information from Quinnipiac University the costs of the bomb scare. The private college declined The Post’s request for comment on the case.
