HARRINGTON, Del. (AP) - A 65-year-old Delaware man is accused of threatening to kill a dog and its owner after the creature got loose and ran onto the man’s property.
News outlets report Edward Bonsall Jr. has been arrested on charges including terroristic threatening. Harrington police say the dog ran onto Bonsall’s property Monday.
Capt. Earl K. Brode says the owner tried to catch the dog and got into an argument with Bonsall, who briefly left and returned with a BB gun pointed at the neighbor. The neighbor then called police.
Police say officers found a BB gun in Bonsall’s home, along with several other guns that Bonsall’s barred from possessing as he’s a registered sex offender. Bonsall has since posted bail and been released. It’s unclear if he has a lawyer.
