Resisting a public official, attempted extortion, attempted arson, stalking, carrying objects capable of causing offence, serious threats and damage: the list of crimes contested by the Carabinieri to a thirty-seven-year-old from Villasimius arrested yesterday by the Carabinieri of the town is long .

In the late morning , the man threatened his former employer's partner, demanding that she hand over money and threatening to set fire to their home if she refused.

The couple, frightened by the constant harassment, decided to contact the police, reporting that for over a month and a half the man had been carrying out a persecution with threats, harassment and damage.

Following the complaint, the military immediately began a search. A few hours later, the man was identified after attempting to set fire to the entrance to the couple's courtyard using a gasoline can and rags soaked in fuel.

When the police arrived, he reacted violently, threatening them and trying to attack them, but was stopped and handcuffed. During the search of his vehicle, an axe and a knife were found.
