Police arrested 56-year-old Napa resident Ben Bueno on Friday after he allegedly threatened his neighbor with a hatchet over a wireless Internet dispute.

Officers were sent to Bueno’s residence in the 1700 block of Pueblo Avenue at about 12:20 p.m. on Friday after his neighbor reported that Bueno had come out of his home carrying a hatchet in his right hand. The neighbor told police that Bueno had moved toward him while yelling and swinging the small ax.

Before reaching his neighbor, Bueno allegedly walked back inside his home, only to return moments later without the hatchet. His neighbor said Bueno spoke to him in the middle of the road and accused him of stealing his wireless Internet.

Witnesses to the incident told officers that Bueno left the area in a black Chevrolet pick-up truck, which officers located nearby with Bueno still inside. Police said Bueno was taken into custody without incident. He was arrested on suspicion of committing a felony threat with an intent to terrorize and exhibiting a deadly weapon other than a firearm. He was booked into county jail on $100,000 bail.

Officers could not say whether the neighbor had been illegally using Bueno’s wireless Internet.
