A firefighter who lost his job in a dispute about his use of medical marijuana has been arrested after threatening to shoot officials, including a city mayor, in a rant in which he used the phrase “just like Charlie Kirk.”
Thomas Eccleston appeared in court in Waterbury, Connecticut, on Wednesday and was subsequently held on $400,000 bond. He faces multiple charges, including second-degree harassment, first-degree threatening with a firearm, second-degree threatening with physical violence, first-degree harassment involving physical threats, and second-degree harassment, according to local reports.
