Mental health evaluation ordered for woman charged in threat

Mental health evaluation ordered for woman charged in threat against Ichabod Crane school.

A judge has ordered a mental health evaluation for the Kinderhook woman accused of calling a threat into Ichabod Crane High School.

Lori Costanzo, 53, was scheduled to be in Greenport Town Court on Monday. However, her appearance was delayed so the evaluation can be done, according to the court clerk.

Costanzo is still receiving treatment and will be back in court later this month.

The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office says the school went into lockout last Thursday when the alleged threats were called in.
