New Haven police have arrested a man in connection with the phoned-in threat that forced a lockdown at Yale University in November 2013. On November 25, an anonymous caller reported his roommate was headed to the Yale campus to shoot people. Police tracked the call to a phone booth in the 300 block of Columbus Avenue. The call prompted a massive police presence and the university was locked down for hours.
