Carmine Cervellino, a 49-year-old Connecticut man, was arrested and charged with “threatening” after his wife informed police her husband carved a watermelon in a passive-aggressive manner.
Thomaston Police Chief Jim Campbell said Cervellino’s wife called police on July 4 to report finding marijuana in her husband’s toolbox, but when cops arrived, the toolbox was nowhere to be found.

When the wife later returned home, she found a watermelon on the counter with a butcher’s knife out of it, police said. She told police that Cervellino came in soon after and carved the watermelon in a passive-aggressive manner, Campbell said. The Register Citizen of Torrington, which originally reported the story, said the woman took a photo of the toolbox and the knife and showed them to police. Cervellino was arrested on July 12 and charged with threatening and disorderly conduct, according to online court records. It is not clear if he has an attorney. source
