A Wallingford man accused of firing a .357 revolver toward Interstate 91 while drunk last month was ordered recently to report to an alcohol treatment program.



Court officials also ordered Robert Kimler, 71, of 73 North Airline Road, to possess no weapons while his reckless endangerment case remains pending at Meriden Superior Court, according to court files available in the Clerk's office.



Kimler was arrested on April 18 on charges of first-degree reckless endangerment and unlawful discharge of a firearm after police determined he was firing the revolver in the direction of the highway during the evening hours.



Police first responded to Kimler's Airline Drive home - a road that parallels I-91 - after neighbors reported hearing 4 to 5 gunshots coming from his porch, court files detailed.



Kimler has since been released on bond, but must comply with court orders, such as not possessing a firearm. He is due back in Meriden court on May 3.



Kimler's wife, Sherry Behr, 67, was also arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and interfering with an officer. Police said Behr, who was also allegedly drunk when Wallingford officers came to the home, became combative during the investigation.



According to the court files, Behr made statements that her husband was shooting squirrels near the property that evening.



Behr also bonded out of custody and is due back in court on May 3 as well.
