EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP — A 31-year-old man was arrested after allegedly calling a day care center Tuesday and threatening to harm the children, Egg Harbor Township police said.

Matthew Poole was arrested the same day at his Pleasantville home and charged with making terroristic threats and causing a public alarm, according to police.

Police determined Poole never was on the property of the Wonder Years Day Care Center in the Sculville section of town and that the threat was not credible.

Poole was held in lieu of $75,000 bail at the Atlantic County Justice facility.
