In Connecticut, saying there would be 'hell to pay' in an email will get you arrested with threat of jail

GUILFORD, CT - By now, we have read ad nauseum about cases where individuals commit actual crimes…crimes like assault, robbery, rape, and even manslaughter…and where those cases are either dismissed or not prosecuted in the first place. 

This brings us to the small coastal town of Guilford, Connecticut, which has just over 22,000 people and is located in the south-central portion of the state. 

In 2023, a former police officer, board of education candidate, and Guilford resident, William Maisano, emailed high school principal Julia Chaffe advising her that “there will be hell to pay” if the school permitted a teacher, Regina Sullivan, to dye her hair rainbow colors to celebrate LGBGTAQ pride during the 2023 high school graduation, according to Inside Investigator. 

The Guilford Police Department was notified of the alleged “threatening” email, and the incident was closed the same day, according to police records. Sometime over the ensuing few days, “someone” caught wind of the incident, and a second investigation was started. This resulted in the arrest of Maisano.
