BEDMINSTER -- The AT&T campus was evacuated and a Piscataway man
arrested Thursday after he was heard making comments about planes crashing and buildings falling, authorities said.

Alok Kumar Singh, 32, of North Randolphville Road, was charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief and third-degree making a false public alarm after his arrest, according to the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office.

Forrest said Singh was heard making rambling comments about planes crashing,
buildings falling and said he would "push the button" when approached by police,
according to a news release issued late Thursday afternoon.

Forrest said police searched the AT&T complex after it was evacuated. Singh was
arrested after police found graffiti written on the walls inside the AT&T Complex,
Forrest said. Bail was set at $5,000 with 10 percent allowed, and Singh was ordered to have no contact with AT&T, Forrest said.

In addition to the prosecutor's office, the Somerset County Sheriff's Office K-9
Unit, the New Jersey State Police Rendersafe Task Force and the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force responded to the AT&T Complex.
