NORWICH – A Norwich woman who allegedly threatened a school employee appeared in court on Monday with her attorney, and asked that a search of her email records be stopped, after previously telling the court she had an email from a school employee recanting his statement against her.

Regina Donovan, 39, of Norwich, is charged with making a terrorist threat, a class D felony, after a conversation she had with a Norwich Middle School employee.

Although Donovan denies making the remark, prosecutors said she told a school employee she was going to, “...make it rain blood in the middle school.” The incident allegedly occurred during a heated phone conversation about her daughter being bullied.

Donovan’s Defense Attorney Douglas Drazen said within a day of the phone conversation, Donovan received an email from the employee apologizing and seeking to correct the situation.

However after Chenango County Court Judge Frank Revoir Jr., approved a search warrant for her email account to verify the email she discussed, Drazen motioned to stop the search from taking place and his motion was denied.
