Safety of employees at local business threatened

By News Tribune staff

Man charged with making terroristic threat

Published: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 5:31 PM CDT
A Freeburg man is in the Cole County Jail on $150,000 bond, accused of making threats to the safety of employees of a Jefferson City business.

Monday, Cole County Prosecutor Mark Richardson charged David A. Falter, 42, with making a terroristic threat.

According to a police department probable cause statement, Falter contacted Unilever, 2900 W. Truman Blvd., around 2:45 p.m. Saturday.

He admitted to sending a fax to the business saying he was “loading one bullet a day into his fifties and that if they didn't stop making margarine and vegetable oil, he would come after management himself.”

A manager told police that he felt very threatened by the message and would no longer park in his designated parking spot.

He also said he was going to hold a meeting with employees about the threat and step up security precautions.

Faltner's fax stated he would be searching for names and addresses of employees.

" I guess I misunderstood. I thought he meant he was going to load a bullet a day into his fifties (as in 50 calibers).
I was more concerned how he got his hands on .50's!
Either way, its nutz. "

" just curious, he was going to load 1 bullet a day into his fifties. he is 42 now, does that mean we had at least 8 years to monitor him or did he have the dilusion that he could freely go about shooting for the next 8+ years?
whew, this could be a case for the textbooks. "

Do what ever you want with your kids, but if they have true psych problems don't mask them until they are out of your control just to leash them on society and expect them to keep up your med program.
I was talking about problems like bi-polar, wolfmom decided to interject ADHD when she wanted to argue about Einstien. I was not comparing Einstien to her child any more than I would to mine. "

" Oh, and as far as the teachers go... my son's school plays a very important part in the med issue. They spend a great deal of time filling out forms and writing notes so that my son's doctor knows how the meds are working/affecting him in school. His teachers are not just making sure that he is in "control" - but also making sure that his meds are not overshadowing or drowning his own personality. And, equally important, working just enough to allow him to learn and retain the skills he needs to regulate him self.

" To no one in particular, a general "play nice" advisory ... Let's acknowledge that the extent of ADHD is a controversial topic that's going to entice varied viewpoints, but let's also recognize that the issues can be discussed without spiraling out of emotional control and lashing out at other participants. Please! Just my own personal observation: Few disagree that the diagnosis can be mishandled, and few disagree that there are diagnoses that have been beneficial. Argument sometimes arises from which end of the spectrum one is addressing, and how to interpret the middle ground. So play nice. Thanks. --Rick Brown, online editor, News Tribune "

When we were growing up we knew the principal had a paddle and wasn't afraid to use it. That was enough to keep most of us in line. My own children knew that we weren't afraid to hurt their feelings or embarrass them in front of their friends.
My youngest told me that its ok to talk back to their teacher, she lets them. So I educated him. Every generation has different challenges. "

And right there is another of my gripes with the current educational system...teachers (and schools) trying to diagnose kids and wanting them on meds probably to make their jobs easier. If there is a problem in the school it should be brought to the parents' attention and the parent then decides how to handle it and it should be up to a doctor to decide if meds are appropriate. "

Actually, you make a good point and one I'd thought of too. I'm not sure why this one got more credibility than others. Often when there's a nutcase that makes a threat toward a govt official, the MSHP will go out and talk with the guy to see if he's serious. Generally, they realize their mouth overloaded their good sense and stop their threats. Perhaps someone talked with him and realized he's the real McCoy and was serious about it. "
