UW professor charged in bomb threat

The University of Wisconsin-Madison’s expert on former President Richard Nixon said he would not appear in court today for a pending disorderly conduct charge in which he allegedly called in a bomb threat to the Dean Health Plan office.

Disgruntled about a pending claim, emeritus history Professor Stanley Kutler, 70, reportedly called the insurance office on April 26 inquiring about the claim. According to the criminal complaint filed in Dane County Circuit Court, Kutler allegedly threatened to blow up the Dean Health Plan building if his claim wasn’t settled.
