Man Left Threatening Notes At New Canaan Starbucks: Police

NEW CANAAN, CT — A 56-year-old New Canaan man was arrested on a charge of second-degree breach of peace on Oct. 17 after he left handwritten, threatening notes at the Starbucks on Park Street in New Canaan, according to police.

Arrested at about 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday was Glen K. Dunbar, of Lakeview Avenue, though the incident began at about 10 a.m. when officers were dispatched to the coffee shop after employees found the three notes.

"The notes caused concern [among] employees and led to the investigation by New Canaan Police," wrote authorities in a statement. "The notes reference 'Seeking revenge on this town,' 'I hate 90% of you, I'll haunt/stalk all of you' and other types of concerning/threatening thoughts."

Dunbar was quickly developed as a suspect and interviewed in connection with the notes, based in part "on previous contact" with him, according to police.

"Dunbar admitted to writing and leaving the notes," wrote police.

He was released on a promise to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on Oct. 30.
