7/25/14 - A Milford man is facing charges of disturbing the peace and disorderly conduct after allegedly confronting and threatening officers in the police department. Police were called to the 34-year-old manâs residence on Friday evening on reports that he was highly intoxicated, swearing loudly outdoors and trying to start a fight. The Milford Times reports the man told officers to take him to jail so he could fight someone. They issued him a citation for disturbing the peace before turning him over to a relative. However, about an hour later, the man appeared at the Milford police station, disturbing normal operations and demanding to be taken to jail. According to reports, he told police to fight him and made references to attacking neighbors with an automatic weapon or committing arson. Officers eventually did take the man to jail, but he continued causing a disturbance during the booking process and threatened to shoot the arresting officers. Police Chief Tom Lindberg arrived and was able to calm him down. The man was arraigned on Saturday and released on a $10,000 bond. He is scheduled for a pretrial hearing on August 5th. (TD)
