Neil Prescott Faces Telephone Misuse Charges in Averted Threat Case

Charges against the Crofton man were announced during a press conference Wednesday by the state's attorney and police chief of Prince George's County.

UPDATE (2:30 p.m.)—Neil Prescott of Crofton was charged with telephone misuse related to an averted threat incident last week in which he allegedly made threatening calls to his workplace.
