HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — A Long Island man threatened employees of the Hempstead Supervisor's Office with a crossbow after the town dismantled an airplane the suspect insisted on keeping in his driveway, Nassau police said.

Harold Guretzky, 70, of Oceanside, called the Town of Hempstead Supervisor's Office and made the threat, Nassau County police said. He has been charged with two counts of aggravated harassment and will be arraigned on Wednesday.

Guretzky has been arguing with the office since summer 2015 when he decided not to pay $150 a day to store his Cessna 152 plane at Republic Airport, according to the LIHerald.com.

He brought the plane home, kept it in his driveway, and within weeks, was served violation notices, a $2,500 summons and tickets for not having a permit to park the plane on his property, according to LIHerald.com.

On April 20, the town dismantled Guretzky's plane while he was driving home from California, LIHerald reports.
