A Connecticut man has been arrested for allegedly calling in a bomb threat to three Aquarion Water Company locations in the state, according to police.
The Monroe Police Department said they were notified of a threat against the company on Dec. 20. An Aquarion customer service representative told authorities they received a call from a former employee who said he placed bombs in all three of their locations - one in Monroe and two in Bridgeport - at about 12:30 p.m.
The caller told the employee he was an employee, but was laid off. The Monroe location was evacuated before officers got to the scene.
The Stamford Police Bomb Squad responded and found nothing suspicious, according to police.
