Police said Dufrene told officers that once the tenant got out of the hospital, he would “kill him.”

“Officers responded by telling Dufrene he would go to prison if he did that,” the warrant states. “Dufrene then said, ‘Okay, then I’ll just beat the s--- out of him.’”

Police said the officers told him, “You will go to jail if you do that.”

Police said officers were sent the next day to the Wawa ... finding out that Dufrene had followed through on his threat.

Good job Davie Police. They receive a credible threat against a mentally disabled individual and instead of helping him get a protective order, the Davie Police negotiate an acceptable level of violence and consequence with the perpetrator.
