A Brantford man has been charged with uttering threats in connection with the city’s first homicide of the year.
Joel Scalzo, of Brantford, was arrested Thursday night in a multi-force take down spearheaded by Brantford police.
The 28-year-old was located in a vehicle travelling on Highway 403 around 6:30 p.m.
Police say the charge stems from an incident that occurred Jan. 1 and is related to the Jeffery Maxner homicide investigation.
Maxner was fatally shot just steps from Branford General Hospital around 5 p.m. on New Year’s Day.
No one has been arrested for his murder.
