BANTAM >> A Thomaston man is accused of stabbing a watermelon with a butcher knife and leaving it in the kitchen for a woman to see, in what police describe as a “passive aggressive” swipe that landed him in custody. She was unnerved by what she perceived to be a menacing gesture directed at her and reported it to police.

On Monday, Carmine Cervellino, 49, of 126 Hickory Hill Road, was arraigned in Bantam Superior Court on charges of second-degree threatening and disorderly conduct. He is at liberty after posting a $500 bond and had his case referred to Family Services.

The woman said she felt Cervellino was resorting to “passive aggressive” tactics to “intimidate her because he is angry at her,” Thomaston Officer Keith Koval wrote in a report.


CT need to ban watermelons now.

Glad to see our law enforcement is using their time and resources wisely. We definitely don't have any developing drug and crime problem.

Sounds like a classic case of wife and lawyer taking advantage of the system to milk the husband for everything they can.

If they did nothing, and she was stabbed to death after this incident, people would criticize law enforcement. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

That much is true. I guess I need to come to terms with the pathetic litigious world we live in.

For threatening, I'll agree, however this is the textbook definition of Disorderly Conduct.

What happened to the watermelon? Watermelon is delicious.
Ever heard of a "water buffalo"? Cut a watermelon in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon or melon-baller and pour in your favorite liquors. Rum, schnapps, brandy, or Kahlua. Chill in the fridge and enjoy with company.

Would that have raised the stakes to a felony??
