NORTHBOROUGH – A Grafton man was arrested late last month after he allegedly made “threatening comments” toward one of Amazon’s facilities in Northborough, according to Northborough Police.
A former Amazon employee, Curtis Cyriaque, 25, faces charges of vandalism of property, threatening to commit a crime and bomb/hijack threat.
According to Lt. Brian Griffin, an Amazon HR staff member reached out to police on April 20, saying that an individual – allegedly Cyriaque – had been making threats for over 24 hours.
Griffin said Cyriaque hadn’t been working at Amazon for a couple of months.
Amazon received “numerous” emails, Griffin said.
There were threats to “commit workplace violence where multiple people would be hurt,” according to Griffin.
On April 20, and while police were investigating Amazon’s report, Cyriaque allegedly showed up at Amazon and used a BB gun to shoot out the window of another employee’s car.
An arrest warrant was issued. Griffin said Cyriaque was then located at his residence in Grafton. Northborough police were assisted by the Grafton Police Department and Massachusetts State Police Fugitive Unit.
During the search, police allegedly located a BB gun, which Griffin said resembled an assault rifle, under Cyriaque’s couch.
Cyriaque was arraigned in Westborough District Court on April 21.
He was back in court on Tuesday of last week for a dangerousness hearing, where he was ordered held without bail for a minimum 120 days.
