This is a bit of hometown news as Tom was a classmate of mine way back in high-school, don't think I would have gotten through my programming class without his help (that was in the days of the Tandy TRS-80 and basic). Politics aside hope he is able to get what ever help he may need and those around him don't poo-poo it away. May have to see if I can pull his show up and take a listen as it has been a long time since listening to his show,,,
Amherst police responded to a 911 call early Wednesday morning at the Williamsville home of WBEN talk show host Tom Bauerle, who told officers he was under surveillance by operatives of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, according to two law enforcement sources familiar with the situation.
Two police sources, who did not want to be identified because Amherst officials have not released reports on the incident, said officers took a licensed, loaded, semi-automatic handgun from Bauerle when they encountered him in his backyard as he claimed a suspicious person was spying on him. The two sources also said the radio host personally summoned police and then consented to a voluntary psychiatric evaluation later that day at Erie County Medical Center after police contacted Crisis Services about their concerns.
No charges have been filed against Bauerle. He did not return phone calls that began Friday and continued Saturday. WBEN managers, after repeated requests for comment that began Thursday night, said Saturday they had no comment.
But officers and neighbors told The Buffalo News they have become concerned about Bauerle’s behavior.
