Man Charged With Posting Threat On Newspaper Website
The Hartford Courant

12:46 PM EST, February 9, 2010

TORRINGTON —

A 26-year-old man is accused of posting an anonymous threatening comment about a Torrington police officer on The Register-Citizen newspaper's website last month.

Brian E. Couse, of Stanfordville, N.Y., turned himself in to police, who charged him with second-degree breach peace on Tuesday. Couse was released on $2,500 bail and is due in Bantam Superior Court on Feb. 22.

An employee at the Register-Citizen called officers on Jan. 20 after noticing the threat in the comment section beneath an online article. The article was police-related, Lt. Michael Emanuel said, but he declined to comment on what the story was about.

Police launched an investigation and later executed a search warrant, which revealed the Internet protocol address and identity of the anonymous blogger.

Couse sent the message from a work computer in New York, Emanuel said. He declined to say where Couse worked but said that he has been fired from the job.

The comment was "a threat of physical violence against an active police officer," Emanuel said.

"Simply because a person posts comments in an anonymous fashion does not give them the right to threaten or cause fear in people or their families," he said in a statement.

Calls to the Register-Citizen were not immediately returned.

No sweat! I'm just really glad that Adnan got the last word. And the no comment from the detective definitely isn't going to put him into the innocent category. It's actually a good story, I'm quite surprised. Though I don't like the Mayor's comments about UOC, I suppose I cannot be too surprised with a democrat in office and the current EPA crime rates. No attention to the facts that more law abiding citizens with guns = less crime.

"no timetable for the investigation means it won't happen. Wait long enough and everyone will forget.

Yeah, agreed. Unfortunately, I had already heard that comment, but again the reporting was biased, which was where my surprise came from. They're just trying to sweep it under the carpet

Agreed! In fact, one step further... nothing on the internet is truly private, especially on a public website (i.e. Facebook). Ever tried Googling your own name? Sometimes you will be amazed what you can find, let alone what is "cached".

Yeah... that definitely made my jaw drop. Then I realized that maybe they just cut that part out.... Nonetheless, it sure doesn't paint EPA in a very good light.... I just hope that we aren't the only ones who noticed.

Alright...just saw it. Very surprised it's on the news...and so quickly. Nothing on the internet is private. No one should be made to feel unsafe by ANY Officer or Police Department. Officer Tuason is hopefully ashamed of himself.
