Police: Vernon man angry over power outage threatened JCP&L

A township man whose home has been without power since Friday’s nor’easter threatened to kidnap a JCP&L employee and blow up a substation, authorities said.

Robert Winter, 63, of the Glenwood section of Vernon, is charged with third-degree terroristic threats.
