$50,000 Bond Reduced To Zero In Willington FedEx Shooting Threat Case

WILLINGTON, CT — The initial $50,000 bond for an Ashford teenager accused of threatening to "shoot up" the FedEx depot in Willington was reduced to a promise to appear in Rockville Superior Court late last week, an arrest report indicates.

State police on July 6 charged 19-year-old Victor Izaiah Rodriguez with first-degree threatening involving violent intent that caused an evacuation — a felony — along with second-degree breach of peace, according to a state police arrest report.

At 2:24 p.m. that day, state police went to the FedEx facility at 350 Ruby Road after learning of the threat, according to an arrest report.

Rodriguez works there, according to an arrest report.

He was arrested at the facility.

He is scheduled to go back to court on Aug. 10, according to judicial system records.
