Upon arrival, Officers spoke with library staff and a patron. The patron stated he attempted to log onto Facebook on a public computer and saw that a Lawrence Kozar did not log out of his account. The patron said he noticed a threatening post on Kozar’s main page, which was directed towards a Westport Police Officer. The threat indicated that a Westport Officer would be buried alive by Kozar. Kozar’s Facebook account is not private and his posts can be viewed by anyone who has Facebook.

Through the investigation, Kozar was positively identified as the individual using that specific computer at that time. Kozar was previously arrested for threatening an officer in the lobby of police headquarters in August, and Kozar references this officer in his threat.
