The Connecticut State Police Eastern District Major Crime Squad at Troop E in Montville say Fernando Irizzary, 42, of Willimantic has an active and extraditable felony arrest warrant with charges for first-degree failure to appear.

Irizarry was previously monitored with a court-ordered ankle bracelet and was awaiting trial for charges of threatening and inciting injuries to a person, police say. The warrant has a $250,000 cash bond attached.

Irizarry is believed to have connections in Willimantic, Norwich and New Jersey. Police warn anyone who sees Irizarry to exert caution and avoid approaching him. To report sightings, call 911 or Troop E in Montville at (860) 848-6548.
