Man with AR-style pistol arrested at Aetna’s Connecticut headquarters without incident
Security detained the man within 3 minutes, and police later charged him with firearm and trespassing offenses, officials said.
- On Thursday, Hartford Police arrested 51-year-old Denrey Wadlington at Aetna headquarters after security guards detained him within 3 minutes of entry with an AR-style pistol in his backpack.
- The incident at the Hartford building follows February layoffs where Rhode Island-based CVS Health, Aetna's parent company, announced cuts affecting more than 300 remote workers.
- Wadlington faces charges including 3rd degree criminal trespassing, criminal possession of a firearm, illegal possession of an assault weapon, and possession of a large capacity magazine.
- This arrest follows heightened concerns regarding health care executive safety, particularly after the December 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City.
- Hartford Police Major Crimes, Crime Scene, and Intelligence Divisions are investigating the incident to determine Wadlington's intent during the security breach.
