Hartford County resident Daniel Henderson, age 57, of Stonington, was arrested on Wednesday, Oct. 27.
According to Lieutenant Keith Egan, of the Stonington Police Department, Henderson had an active warrant stemming from an incident that occurred at Lefty’s Package Store in April.
During the police investigation, Henderson admittedly entered Lefty's package store without fully wearing a face mask and got upset when the victim asked him to wear it properly, Egan said.
Based on the victim and witness accounts, Henderson then spat towards the victim, used racial slurs towards him, and threatened to damage the property before exiting, he added.
Henderson was arrested and charged with: intimidation based on bigotry and breach of peace.
He was released on a $10,000 non-surety bond.
