NEWINGTON — Police arrested a man they said threatened to kill people at a town council meeting Tuesday evening.
Police said they were called around 7 p.m. to a town council meeting at the town hall for a report of a resident creating a disturbance. Police said William Gardner, 52, of Newington, was moved outside the chambers by an officer assigned to the meeting.
Police said after Gardner left, a witness told police they heard Gardner make threats to kill people as he was entering the meeting. Police arrested him without incident and charged with second-degree breach of peace.
Gardner was released on a $5,000 bail and is expected to appear in New Britain Superior Court on Tuesday, April 17.
