Man Charged With Threatening Windsor Locks Motorist

WINDSOR LOCKS, CT — A Broad Brook man was arrested at his home Monday night following an incident that occurred a short time earlier in Windsor Locks.

Around 8 p.m., Windsor Locks police were dispatched to Concorde Way to investigate a motor vehicle accident that had taken place at the junction of Route 75 and Shoephoester Road. The complainant said he was stopped at a red light when his car was struck from behind, Lt. Paul Cherniack said.

When the complainant exited his vehicle to inspect for damage, the second vehicle suddenly backed up and fled the scene. The complainant followed the vehicle onto Concorde Way, and was able to block the driver from traveling further, but the suspect exited his vehicle and brandished what appeared to be a gun at the complainant, then sped away, Cherniack said.

Police tracked the suspect's vehicle to an apartment in Broad Brook, discovered the vehicle on the premises and made contact with the suspect inside his apartment. Police saw a black replica pistol on a sofa inside the apartment and arrested the suspect.

Michael Fisher, 48, was charged with first-degree threatening, second-degree breach of peace, evading responsibility and following too closely. Bond was set at $50,000.

He was arraigned Tuesday in Enfield Superior Court, and is scheduled to return to court April 4.
