Police in Delaware say a man angry about his sewer bill was arrested after he suggested someone should crash a plane into a county government center.

New Castle County police say 45-year-old Darren Spayd of Newark got upset Tuesday after being assessed a late fee.

Police say he started cursing at county workers and threw the change he had received back at one. Police say several employees overheard him suggesting someone should fly a plane into the building.

A Texas man angry with the Internal Revenue Service recently flew a plane into an office building in Austin, killing himself and one IRS employee.

Spayd was charged with disorderly conduct and terroristic threatening. He was released on $2,500 bail and ordered to have no contact with the government center. No phone number was listed for him.
