Danbury Police charged a Bethel man with reckless driving, breach of peace and second-degree threatening at about 2:30 p.m. Sunday, after what police called a road rage incident. Police said a car was driving north on Route 7 when a second car pulled suddenly onto Route 7 from the Wooster Gun Club, and the second car started following and its driver threatened the first driver. Police said the suspect, Matthew Gotto, 46, of Milwalkee Avenue, Bethel, tried to get the first driver to stop. When the first driver took a turn off Route 7, Gotto pulled suddenly off the exit and followed him. Police said a third driver witnessed some of the incident and spoke to police after the suspect left the scene. Police followed Gotto to his Bethel home, and was charged and then released on a $500 bond and given a court date of Jan. 6, 2014.
