Former Fairfield Official Faces New Legal Charges

FAIRFIELD, CT — Raymond Neuberger, the former Fairfield Representative Town Meeting member with a checkered legal past, was arrested Wednesday on harassment charges, according to Fairfield police.

Neuberger, who lives in Easton, was arrested on two counts of first-degree harassment, in connection with an ongoing case in which he is alleged to threatened members of the Fairfield Police Department.

The 41-year-old was arrested in April on a charge of second-degree threatening, which led to the Oct. 22 arrest.

"A subsequent investigation from [the April] arrest revealed that he had expressed a desire to kill specific Fairfield Police Detectives and had gone to the Fairfield Police Department to observe officers," Sgt. Jenna Wellington told Patch.

Wellington added, "Threats or harassment toward members of the Fairfield Police Department are taken with the utmost seriousness. Such behavior undermines the safety of our officers and the community they serve, and will be investigated aggressively and prosecuted to the fullest extent allowed by law."

Neuberger is currently being held in lieu of bail of $150,000, and he is scheduled to appear in Bridgeport Superior Court on Nov. 3.

In addition to the harassment charges, the threatening case is also still pending.

Neuberger served time in prison in 2023 and 2024 in connection with an animal cruelty case, for which he was convicted of torturing cats.
