On January 20, 2015, the Norwalk Department of Police Services responded to Home Goods located at 380 Connecticut Avenue in regards to a threatening complaint. Management reported receiving a call from a male who threatened to blow the business up if they did not terminate his girlfriend’s employment. The caller also threatened to come to the store and shoot employees. Investigators identified the caller as Darryl Anderson. Officers secured Home Goods and with the assistance of the Stamford Police Department Bomb Squad K-9 rendered the business free of any explosive devices. Officers and Detectives then stood by at the business and at an address on Lenox Avenue, where the ex-girlfriend was residing. A short time later Detectives assigned to the Lenox Avenue location observed Anderson hiding behind a tree in the yard. Detectives approached Anderson and took him into custody. Chief Kulhawik commended the Patrol and Detective Divisions for their work on this case, stating that there is no doubt their work prevented Anderson from committing any of the acts threatened.
