#Westport CT–On April 29, 2021 at approximately 4:20 p.m., Westport Police officers responded to a
local restaurant on a threatening complaint. It was reported that a former employee, who was
identified as David Iredia, had called the establishment multiple times over the last several days
requesting to get his job back. It was alleged that during one of these phone calls Mr. Iredia
threatened to go to the restaurant and shoot everyone. Mr. Iredia was interviewed about this
incident and purportedly said he does not own a gun and only made the comment in response to a
threat made against him.

Based on the investigation, a warrant for Mr. Iredia’s arrest was completed and signed by
a Superior Court Judge. On the afternoon of May 20, 2021, Mr. Iredia was taken into custody by
officers from the Trumbull Police Department and turned over to the Westport police. Per the
warrant, he was charged with Threatening in the Second Degree and Harassment in the Second
Degree. Mr. Iredia was held on a $10,000.00 bond and is scheduled to be arraigned at Stamford
Superior Court the morning of Friday, May 21, 2021.
