Respect the hustle, I guess? 22-year-old Danielle Shea from Quincy, Mass. was supposed to graduate from Quinnipiac University last weekend. At least that’s what she told her parents while taking thousands of their dollars to do God knows what in her final year of “college.” When graduation finally rolled around, Shea freaked out and did what any rational person who had been stealing her parents money for almost a year would do. She broke down and told her parents the truth. Ha, just kidding. She called in a bomb threat to the graduation ceremony.
From the Boston Globe:
Police said Shea didn’t attend the university this year, but her mother paid thousands of dollars she thought was for her daughter’s education. When graduation arrived, Shea panicked when relatives didn’t see her name on the graduation roster, they said.
According to police, Shea made two calls to the university’s public safety department. In the first, about 20 minutes before the start of the 6 p.m. graduation ceremony, she stated there was a ‘‘bomb in the library,’’ said police. In the second call, about 20 minutes later, police said Shea warned ‘‘Several bombs are on campus’’ and noted ‘‘You haven’t cleared out graduation. That’s not a good idea.’’
Hamden and university police identified Shea using the telephone number she’d called from and then found her at the arena.
She has been charged with first degree threatening and falsely reporting an incident. She is being held on $20,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court in Meriden on May 30.
Talk about your all time backfires. In a weird way, my heart goes out to the kid. In a normal way, I can’t believe someone would go to these extremes. Maybe she should’ve just enrolled in classes and not gone on a two semester joyride with mom and dad’s tuition checks. Lesson learned. However, had Shea called in a bomb threat to her office on her first day of work, she’d be lauded as a hero for giving everyone the day off.
DISCLAIMER: Don’t call in bomb threats. Ever.

What’s the best way to double down on a horrible lie to your parents? Make a criminal lie that makes you a felon!
“Hi mom, I found out I missed registration for a Senior seminar class last Fall that I have to take to graduate, I’ll have to retake it Fall next year, so I’ll technically graduate in Spring 2015, there will not be a ceremony though”.
The road goes on forever and the party never ends – REK
Expected to see this kinda crap from kids in high school… Shows that her parents were wasting their money in sending her to school anyway.
