Orange Man Arrested In Threatening Incident With Gun: Milford PD

MILFORD, CT — Milford and Orange residents are facing several charges after a threatening incident involving a gun occurred in the parking lot of a local business, police said.

On May 11, police responded to the parking lot of Cumberland Farms, 258 Boston Post Road, on a report of a breach of peace. Kevin Brennan, 31, of Boston Post Road, is accused of threatening another man with a handgun in the parking lot and then giving the handgun to William Jacowleff, 31, of Grace Trail in Orange, who left to hide the weapon, and then returned to the scene, police said.

The handgun was later recovered by police where Jacowleff stated he put it, police said. The dispute between the two men stemmed from a verbal argument that occurred earlier in the day, police said. Everyone involved in the incident knew one another, police said.

Brennan is charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, criminal possession of a firearm, first-degree threatening, second-degree breach of peace, interfering with an officer, and weapon in motor vehicle. He was released on a $50,000 bond.

Jacowleff is charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, tampering with evidence, weapon in motor vehicle, and interfering with a police officer. Jacowleff was released on a $25,000 bond.
