Man Fears Gun Carrier May Rob Glastonbury Bank, Is Arrested Himself

A local man who police say became alarmed when he saw a man carrying a gun inside a Glastonbury TD Bank branch and attempted to subtly alert the teller with a note was himself charged with breach of peace last Thursday.

Robert Gursky, 50, of 245 Cavan Lane, Glastonbury, was arrested on a charge of breach of peace on Thursday, Sept. 12, according to police.

Gursky was in the TD Bank branch at 2461 Main St. conducting business when he saw a person with a handgun. He became concerned that the man might be planning to rob the bank, and tried to subtly alert the bank teller.

Gursky passed the teller a note and said “gun,” police said. He then finished his transaction and left the bank.

Bank staff became alarmed and contacted police, who responded to the bank. Officers determined that the owner of the gun possessed it legally and had no intention to use it at the bank, police said.

They then tracked down Gursky and charged him with breach of peace after an interview.

He was released on a written promise to appear in court on Sept. 25.
