An 18-year-0ld Sunrise Avenue resident in an argument with his mother said he’d shoot his her if he had a gun (he didn’t), then got on a plane and went to Nantucket, New Canaan police said.
The incident happened in an argument on July 25, and was reported to police at 3 p.m. the next day, although by 5 p.m. the son had gone to Westchester County Airport and took a flight to Nantucket. He had also thrown glasses at her and threatened to kill himself, police were told.
New Canaan police applied for and received an arrest warrant charging the son with second-degree threatening. Nantucket police took him into custody, and the man later turned himself in on Aug. 4 at New Canaan Police Headquarters with his lawyer.
He was released on $40,000 and was scheduled to appear Aug. 5 in state Superior Court in Norwalk. Further information on the status of his court case was not available.
