"What should have been a routine power check turned into a frightening experience for one utility crew from California on Monday morning, said Connecticut State Police.
The out of state contractors were hired by CL&P to assist in the restoration process after Tropical Storm Irene. According to the press release, they were conducting service outage checks in the town of Brooklyn when they approached a home on Bailey Street.
Police said the homeowner confronted the contractors, pointed a firearm in their direction, and ordered them off of his property.
The homeowner then followed the contractors off of the property and they immediately notified the Connecticut State Police. Officers from Troop D responded to the scene and were able to locate the homeowner and the firearm.
Police said Kyle Wojcik, 30, was taken into custody. He is being charged with second-degree threatening and first-degree reckless endangerment.
Wojcik is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday."
Threatened? It sounded as if he asked politely.....
Poor guy will now have to argue whether the alleged threats were serious, and whether a reasonable person would take them seriously enough to be threatened....
