A Connecticut man has been arrested on suspicion of threatening to kill police officers and suggesting he’s a member of the Islamic State terrorist group in messages scrawled in local buildings.
Milford police said 31-year-old Miguel Silva, of Stratford, was apprehended Thursday and faces terrorism, harassment, threatening and breach of peace charges. He’s currently being held in custody on $50,000 bail.
Police say Silva wrote threatening messages in local buildings on Jan. 19.
