This is all very simple. The Warwick Police Dept. received a credible complaint that a mentally unstable individual was planning on crashing and disrupting a private function at the Crowne Plaza on Wednesday night. The police investigated, and in fact, found evidence that the disturbed individual made online threats to trespass and disrupt the private function. Based upon this evidence, the Warwick Police found the threat to be credible, and dispatched an on duty officer to the Crowne Plaza. Upon the officer's arrival, the subject who had been making the online threats was located in the hotel parking lot, and at that time the officer ordered the subject to leave the premises or face arrest for trespassing.

In this day and age, online threats of violence must be taken seriously, and the Warwick Police and the responding officer handled the situation correctly and professionally. In addition, the Warwick Police have shown they take all online threats of violence seriously, and those individuals such as the mentally unstable individual who trespassed at the Crowne Plaza this week will be dealt with appropriately.
