The incident took place in Litchfield County on Tuesday, Dec. 14, when troopers responded to a home in Harwinton for possible domestic violence.
When troopers arrived on the scene they found that the accused, identified as a 52-year-old man, had allegedly thrown a machete-style knife at another person and fled into a wooded area near the home, police said.
That's when Trooper Kenney and his K-9 partner, Chase, began a track in the woods surrounding the residence and located the suspect a short time later.
The man, who declined to be interviewed, was taken into custody charged with:
- Threatening
- Reckless endangerment
- Disorderly conduct
He was held on a $20,000 bond.
