Police said messages left on additional River Street buildings stated, “Declare war against police ha ha ha ha ha” and “ISIS will blow up the Milford police station run my prints pigs!! I’m smiling for the camera yes I am.”
Police took 31-year-old Miguel Silva, of Stratford, on Thursday and he has been charged with harassment in the first degree, threatening in the first degree, second-degree breach of peace and act of terrorism.
He is being held on $50,000 and is due in court today.
