Man threatens to kill people at Walmart

Old Saybrook, Conn. (WTNH) - A man is under arrest after police say he stood outside the Old Saybrook Walmart on Thursday and said he was "getting ready to start killing people."

John Carlo, 28, of Pawcatuck, has been charged with breach of peace and threatening.

Before police arrived, Carlo fled on foot. The area was cordoned off and a K-9 was called in to assist with the search. Carlo was finally found in a walk-in cooler at a nearby gas station.

This is the second incident in as many days at this Walmart store. On Wednesday evening an Old Saybrook woman allegedly threatened to detonate a bomb if a pharmacist didn't fill her prescription.

Old Saybrook police say Rachel Hudson, 34, walked into Walmart Wednesday night and passed a note to the pharmacist threatening to blow up the store if her prescription for amphetamines was not filled.

The state police bomb squad searched the store and the suspect and found no bomb making material but they did find two 'items of interest' in Hudson's van which was covered in writings like "the government is terrorists." Inside they found a gas can with wires coming out of it and wires coming from a fuse panel, which wrapped around the steering wheel and back into the engine compartment.

Hudson appeared in Middletown Superior Cour on Thursday and her attorney told the court she really doesn't have the means to make any bond. She was ordered held on $150,000 bond and ordered to undergo a competency evaluation.
