Here's another account from Fosters.com another local newspaper. The Union Leader seems to have spiked the story from their website.

DURHAM — Police arrested a Manchester man who allegedly pulled a gun on several people inside a University of New Hampshire fraternity late Thursday night, while looking for his twin high school daughters who were drinking alcohol at the house.

Police said John M. Lohnes, 47, of 79 Harrison St., Manchester, entered the Phi Kappa Theta fraternity at 17 Garrison Ave., around midnight and threatened several people in the house with a 9 mm handgun, said Deputy police Chief Rene Kelley.

Phi Kappa Theta is not an officially recognized fraternity by the UNH Greek system.

Eight Durham and UNH police officers responded to the frat house and arrested Lohnes without incident, Kelley said. Police also took Lohnes' twin 17-year-old daughters into protective custody for internal possession of alcohol.

There were "a number of people" inside the residence at the time, Kelley said but no one was injured.

Lohnes was charged with criminal threatening, a Class B felony and carrying a weapon without a permit, a Class A misdemeanor. He was released on $25,000 personal recognizance bail and will be arraigned in Durham District Court on June 23.

Police continue to investigate.

Okay, I see what happened. I remember the Union-Leader story had Phi Kappa Sigma as the chapter house. Apparently in error. And I should probably feel bad about this, but as a Skull alumnus from UC Riverside, here in Southern California, I'm relieved to hear it was the other Phi Kaps and not our guys.

Dare I say that the Greek system up there puts the "Unh!" in UNH?
