Sex-Offender Argument Leads to Gun Charges

Windsor Police recently apprehended Windsor resident Robert Causey, 62, after he allegedly pulled a gun on a man in the heat of an argument over his sex-offender status.

According to police, Causey arrived to see friends at 41 Chestnut Drive in Windsor, but was told to leave because of his sex-offender status and after “being disrespectful by saying rude comments about sex.”

Causey was convicted of risk of injury to a child in 2006 and given a suspended sentence of seven years in jail and five years of probation.

According to the incident report, Causey left the home and returned with a .38 calibur Colt revolver.

One of the residents of the home then elbowed Causey in the face and took control of the handgun, according to the incident report. No shots were fired.
