Man Threatened Teen's Father After Trying to Meet with Girl: Police

A 21-year-old man faces charges after South Windsor Police say he threatened a 16-year-old girl’s father after the man confronted him about trying to meet with his daughter.

William Brewster, 21, of 108 Spielman Road, South Windsor, was arrested Feb. 5 on a warrant at Manchester Superior Court and charged with second-degree threatening and breach of peace.

Brewster’s charges stem from a 2015 incident on Abbe Road in which a resident caught his 16-year-old daughter trying to sneak out of the house to meet an unknown male who was parked nearby, according to Deputy Chief Scott Custer.

Custer said the resident approached the parked vehicle and asked the operator (Brewster) why he was there. He told the suspect that his daughter was only 16 years old.

Brewster then allegedly yelled at the man, cursed at him and threatened to shoot him (no weapon was shown), according to Custer.

The vehicle then drove off and officers later identified Brewster from Facebook photos as the man trying to meet with the young girl and obtained an arrest warrant for him, according to Custer.

Brewster was held at court on $35,000 bond and was arraigned later Friday morning.
