A 21-year-old Bethany woman was charged with breach of peace in relation to an allegedly threatening Tweet.

Nikita Wynschenk turned herself in at Troop I on March 13. Her bond was set at $500 and she is scheduled to appear in court on March 28.

According to resident Trooper Dave Merriam, Wynschenk is a former student at the University of Hartford. She reportedly made a general threat, via a Tweet, that "she was going to inflict violence on people," Merriam said.
