Orange Man Accused Of Threatening Emergency Personnel: PD

ORANGE, CT — A local man is accused of threatening ambulance workers, including telling them he would “blow their brains out” after they parked in front of his house, according to police.

Keith Trapasso, 73, was arrested Wednesday and charged with threatening, breach of peace, and following with intent to harass.

Police said the incident began when an AMR ambulance crew parked in front of Trapasso’s house on Indian Hill Road. The crew had cleared a nearby call for service and started completing paperwork.

Police said Trapasso began yelling and swearing at the crew for parking there.

The crew began to leave the area, then Trapasso got into his car and followed them to the next intersection, according to police.

Police said Trapasso was “honking and yelling that they were blocking his driveway.”

“Trapasso then threatened to blow their brains out, among other threats and vulgarities,” police said.

Trapasso posted bond, and he is due to appear in Superior Court in Derby on Jan. 21.
