Danbury Police were called to the Northside Animal Hospital Friday at about 5 p.m. on the report of a male threatening the staff with a handgun.
Millard Reynolds, 38, of Danbury was very upset when he brought in his lifeless dog into the office.
Veterinarians immediately tried to resuscitate his dog, however Reynolds became more upset and pulled out a handgun waving it in the air and eventually pointing it at several employees.

Reynolds was taken into custody without incident.
Reynolds was charged with three counts of threatening, two counts of reckless endangerment, third-degree criminal mischief and breach of peace. Reynolds was released on a $25,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Danbury Superior Court on June 11.
