A Wethersfield man is accused of threatening to kill a state trooper he blamed for having his car towed, according to state police.
State police said a trooper stopped 24-year-year Thomas Eldridge, of Wethersfield, Thursday on Interstate 91 North in Windsor and cited him for a variety of vehicular offenses, including misuse of plates, tinted windows, an insurance violations and failure to drive in the proper lane.
The driver who towed Eldridge's vehicle later called state police to report the man made several comments about shooting and killing a state trooper, police said.
State police said they determined Eldridge made several threatening statements, indicating he wanted to physically injure the trooper who issued the ticket and arrested him at his home.
Eldridge was charged him with inciting injury to persons or property, second-degree breach of peace and second-degree threatening and held while he was unable to post the $100,000 bond.
