New Fairfield Police and Connecticut State Police - Troop A in Southbury have just announced the arrest of a 73 year old New Fairfield resident following an investigation into disturbing allegations of elder abuse, reckless endangerment, and cruelty.

"On Wednesday, June 12, 2024, Officers from New Fairfield and CSP Troop A in Southbury responded to a report of an active disturbance at a residence in New Fairfield. Responding officers were advised that Giovanni Grillo, 73, of New Fairfield, had turned off the electricity to an apartment located on the premises. Further investigation showed that the occupant of the apartment was dependent upon medical equipment in that apartment to maintain their health. During the investigation, Grillo allegedly expressed that he wanted the occupant to vacate the apartment."

Once Connecticut Reddit got a hold of this man's mugshot no one was safe. Here are my favorite comments:

  • Pruedrive: "I feel like he should be yelling at a sentient milk shake, box of fries and ball of meat to get out of his pool."
  • ch0scypher: "I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!"\
  • mgallo45: "Uncle Leo"
  • NKevros: "Hello" - In response to the Uncle Leo reference.
  • Kolzig33189: "I heard this guys nephew works for the parks department." - In response to the Uncle Leo reference.
  • MagicSP: "His pic looks like it was taken 0.1 seconds after he accidentally flipped the camera to selfie mode."
  • Notice-Horror: "Prob another sovereign citizen."
  • Four0ndafloor: "If looks could kill…this guy would be John Wayne Gacy."

WOW! That was better than the Tom Brady roast for me.
