BETHLEHEM — Sections of the Quality Inn in Glenmont were evacuated on Tuesday, May 13, police say, because of threatening calls while police negotiated for several hours with the man staying at the inn who was making the calls.

At about 9:30 on Tuesday morning, Joshua Case, 34, was taken into custody by officers from the Bethlehem Police Department, Albany County Sheriff’s Office, and the New York State Police, according to a release from Bethlehem Police.

After Case left his hotel room without incident, he was charged with making a terroristic threat, a felony, and with second-degree aggravated harassment, a misdemeanor.

Case made several calls to the Stewart’s shop on Frontage Road, near the Quality Inn, “as well as calls to the Bethlehem Police Department that were of an irrational nature,” the release said.

Case was arraigned in Bethlehem Town Court by Justice Andrew Kirby and released under the supervision of Albany County Probation. A return date was set for June 3 at 4 p.m.
