Investigation Into Sign Posted Near Greenwich GOP Office Resolved: Police

GREENWICH, CT — Police have concluded their investigation into a sign that read "Kill Bob," which was posted near the Greenwich Republican Town Committee office and discovered Tuesday morning, according to an update from Capt. Mark Zuccerella of the Greenwich Police Department.

Police had received a complaint about the sign and responded Tuesday morning to investigate.

"The sign had nothing to do with any candidate for office or any other person," Zuccerella said in an email. "There is a martial arts studio next door to the Greenwich RTC. The classes use a practice dummy the children in the class named 'Bob.' The sign, created by the children in the class, was posted on the fence for the students to see when they are in class practicing."

Given the location of the sign, many people on social media assumed it was aimed at Republican Bob Stefanowski, who is challenging Democrat and Greenwich resident Gov. Ned Lamont in this fall's election.

Zuccerella called the incident "an unfortunate misunderstanding and not done with malice toward any person."

The matter is now closed, he said.
