When someone gets fired from a job, it makes for a pretty bad day. At the same time, making threats against the company and the people who work there makes for a bad reference.
Former Ogallala Police Officer Thomas Cubbage of Paxton, was fired from his job at Greenbrier Rail Facility in Hershey on September 27th. According to The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, Cubbage became angry after receiving notice of his termination, allegedly damaging property while threatening employees and the facility.
Cubbage apparently had to be held down until a rescue unit arrived on scene. As a result of the alleged disturbance, Cubbage needed medical assistance and was eventually transported to Great Plains Regional Medical Center.
Deputies from the LCSO arrived at the hospital where they learned about the incident. The 33-year-old Cubbage was later placed in the Lincoln County Detention Center after the investigation.
Cubbage faces charges of Terroristic Threats, Disturbing the Peace and Criminal Mischief, on $25,000 bond.
On October 4th, Cubbage appeared in County Court of Lincoln County where his case was bound to District Court.
According to the Ogallala PD Annual Report of 2009 and 2010, Cubbage was hired as an officer on April16th 2007 and resigned in December of 2010 to be effective January 3rd of 2011.
