Police Obtain Warrant in Connection to Threat to Jonathan Law High School

Milford police have issued an arrest warrant after a resident made what police are calling an indirect threat against Jonathan Law High School.

Police began investigating after receiving information about a Lansdale Avenue resident making a threat made that referenced Jonathan Law High School, police said.

It is unclear when the threat was made, but police said it was not directed at any specific person. After speaking with the resident on Friday evening, police determined there was no present threat to the school community.

The resident, identified as James Piccirillo, 48, was admitted to a secure medical facility for evaluation.

During a search of his home, police seized guns and commercial grade fireworks. The Connecticut State Police Bomb Squad also responded to assist as a precaution.

Milford Public Schools Superintendent Elizabeth Feser said in a statement that Piccirillo has no affiliation with Law High School or Milford public schools.

Police said Piccirillo will be taken into custody upon his release from the hospital. Charges are still being determined.

Police continue to investigate and are working closely with the Milford Board of Education.
