Greenwich Man Threatened Store Employees, Broke Glass Partition: PD

GREENWICH, CT — A 37-year-old Greenwich man was arrested on Aug. 20 after police said he threatened employees and broke a glass partition at a business in town.

The man was charged with second-degree criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and second-degree threatening violence to terrorize — all misdemeanors — according to his arrest report.

Police said they responded to a business in the 500 block of East Putnam Avenue around 5:30 p.m. Sunday on a report of a man within the store who had broken a glass partition.

The address associated with the incident is a Mobil gas station and mini-mart.

Responding officers found a broken partition wall at the front counter of the business, police said.

Officers reviewed internal security footage which showed the man breaking the partition and threatening one of the employees, stating that he "should kill them for calling the cops," police said in an arrest report.

Police noted the man had entered the store earlier and cursed out the employees.

The man was able to post 10 percent of a $1,000 bond. He's scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on Sept. 5.
