Input: Facebook WBEN radio host Tom Bauerle, 50, turned over a semi-automatic handgun to police after he was spotted stalking around his backyard with a loaded weapon on Wednesday morning. 
  
 Police confiscated a semi-automatic handgun from a western New York radio host after the man was spotted stalking around his backyard early Wednesday morning, local media reported. 
  
 Tom Bauerle, 50, has blasted Gov. Cuomo as a mentally ill and vindictive man on air and fears Cuomo was so intimidated by his dissidence that he sent spies to his home in of Williamsville, N.Y., according to a recent report in The Buffalo News. 
  
 Two Amherst law enforcement sources spoke to the Buffalo newspaper about the Wednesday morning encounter on the condition of anonymity because officials have not yet released reports about the incident. 
  
 "He's out there searching his yard with a loaded gun," one source said. For police, "that is a cause for concern." 
  
 Bauerle reportedly consented to a psychiatric evaluation later that day but refused to turn over any of his guns other than his licensed and loaded semi-automatic handgun. The other weapons were entrusted to his attorney, the law enforcement sources said. 
  
 Facebook Bauerle missed his regular time slot on Wednesday and Thursday, but returned on Friday, saying he had been exhausted and needed more sleep. 
  
 Apparently, the talk show host told a cop that he thought a tree in his yard was a human being and the cop needed to whack it with a yardstick to prove it was not a person, according to one source. 
  
 Bauerle was not on the air during his regular timeslot, 3 to 7 p.m., Wednesday or Thursday, but returned Friday. He cited hitting a wall of exhaustion and needing to catch up on sleep. 
  
 The Buffalo News also spoke with several of Bauerle's neighbors who said he held a neighborhood meeting last Sunday to voice his concerns about government surveillance, which they found "quirky" and "made you scratch your head." 
  
 WBEN was not available to discuss the incident when contacted by the Daily News. 
  
 mwalsh@nydailynews.com ||||| 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. 
  
 “He’s out there searching his yard with a loaded gun,” one law enforcement official said. From a police standpoint, “that is a cause for concern.” 
  
 Three neighbors said a neighborhood meeting was held last Sunday so that Bauerle could talk about his fears about surveillance around his home, but they described his fears about the surveillance as “quirky” and “made you scratch your head.” 
  
 Bauerle’s fears and suspicions about surveillance occur at a time when he has been on the air, criticizing the governor for sponsoring the new gun control laws in New York State and accusing Cuomo of seeking retribution. 
  
 “Do not underestimate the venom of Andrew Cuomo and his minions,” Bauerle said on his radio show Dec. 31. “He will attempt to destroy anyone who gets in his way.” 
  
 Amherst police have been dispatched to Bauerle’s home numerous times in recent weeks, two police sources said. One source counted 13 times since Nov. 18. 
  
 Though police confiscated the handgun he was carrying on Wednesday, Bauerle objected to a police request that he turn over any other guns he owns, two police sources said. Instead, he agreed to put his other weapons in the hands of his attorney. 
  
 While Amherst police officials have refused so far to release a report on the Wednesday incident, Town Attorney Thomas E. Jones did confirm it exists. 
  
 Bauerle, 50, was absent from the airwaves on Wednesday and Thursday, when he regularly hosts a talk show from 3 to 7 p.m. But he returned on Friday afternoon and explained his absence stemmed from hitting a “physical wall of exhaustion.” 
  
 “I’ve been very, very exhausted lately,” he said on WBEN Friday. “There have been a number of things I’ve had to deal with healthwise. I honestly had to catch up on sleep and get my head in the game. 
  
 “I was just exhausted,” he added. 
  
 The Buffalo News began making inquiries with WBEN on Thursday, seeking to learn if station management had any concerns about Bauerle. The News continued those phone calls to the station on Friday and Saturday, but received no call back until after 4 p.m. Saturday. 
  
 At that time, The News informed Operations Manager Tim Wenger and Kevin Geary, director of corporate communications for WBEN’s parent Entercom Communications, about the content of this story, including concerns expressed by police and neighbors about Bauerle. The News asked whether the station executives had any concerns about Bauerle and inquired why the first hour of Bauerle’s show from Dec. 30, which was extremely critical of Cuomo, was not on its website. 
  
 Geary declined to comment for this story. 
  
 Meanwhile, one law enforcement source identified James D. Tresmond of Hamburg as Bauerle’s attorney, but Tresmond also did not return several calls seeking comment. 
  
 Officials of the Cuomo administration offered no comment, either. 
  
 The News filed a Freedom of Information request with the Amherst Police Department on Friday, seeking its report on the Wednesday incident after police officials denied its release. The News then contacted Supervisor Barry A. Weinstein, who referred questions to Jones, the town attorney. 
  
 Jones acknowledged receiving the police report The News was seeking and said he usually favors disclosure of such documents, but was not ready to release the report until early this week. 
  
 “We need time to take a look at it because of some sensitivities,” Jones said. |||||
Output:
Police have confiscated a semi-automatic handgun from a western New York radio host found searching his yard with a loaded gun for operatives of Gov. Andrew Cuomo. WBEN talk show host Tom Bauerle called 911 to report that someone was spying on him, and officers arrived to find him so paranoid that they had to whack a tree in his yard with a nightstick to prove that it wasn't a person, reports the Buffalo News. Bauerle, who consented to a psychiatric evaluation but refused to hand over his other weapons to police, agreed to give them to his attorney instead, the New York Daily News reports. On his show, Bauerle has criticized Cuomo for sponsoring new gun control laws and accused the governor of seeking revenge. "Do not underestimate the venom of Andrew Cuomo and his minions," he said late last month. "He will attempt to destroy anyone who gets in his way." Police sources say they have been to Bauerle's house several other times in recent weeks, responding to calls from worried neighbors and Bauerle himself.
