Guy Allegedly Threatened CT Lawmaker
An Ansonia, Connecticut man who opposed gun legislation pending at the state capitol called a lawmaker and warned that a Gabrielle Giffords-like incident could happen in Connecticut if the bill becomes law.
Cops arrested him, then searched his house, where they found a boatload of legally-owned guns. They confiscated the weapons as a harassment charge works its way through the system.
The man said he’s a sickly old fellow who was misunderstood.
He said he gets dizzy just standing up — and that he fell several times trying to clean up his house after the police raid Thursday.
“My house is trashed like hell. They took everything apart,”
Audio: Officer Assaulted
The Seymour Police Department in Connecticut released audio files related to a Feb. 11 call in which a police officer was allegedly assaulted by an emotionally disturbed man.
The police officer’s union complained that the officer’s radio was not working at the time of the incident and that the only reason police knew the officer was in trouble was due to the fact the disturbed man called police on his cell phone — at which point the dispatcher could hear the officer asking for help.
Police administrators said the officer’s radio was working.
