Statement of Judge Joseph H. Pellegrino, Chief Court Administrator
Re: Courthouse Bomb Threats
I would like to commend
Commissioner Leonard C. Boyle, Colonel Edward L. Lynch and the
State Police for their outstanding investigation of the recent
courthouse bomb threats. I am very pleased to learn that the
State Police have arrested an individual in connection with the
bomb threat on Dec. 7th to the Waterbury Superior
Court.
This bomb threat greatly
inconvenienced all of those who had business in the court on
Dec. 7th -- members of the public, jurors, litigants,
employees and judges. However, it has not deterred our dedicated
employees and judges from fulfilling their responsibilities. I
am confident that the State Police will continue to make arrests
in connection with the bomb threats that our court system has
recently experienced.
I would like to reiterate my
appreciation for the work that the State Police have put into
this investigation. They are an indispensable partner in our
efforts to ensure that our courthouses are as safe as possible.
