Man arrested for 'aggressive mopping'.
Hell, come to my house and do my floors. 
By Rick Couri
BRISTOL, Connecticut —
The actual charges faced by John Thornton are breach of peace and threatening.
It’s how he incurred the charges that is interesting.
Police officers said Thornton was disruptive before taking a mop out of an employee’s hands and going to town on the floor.
WFSB reported that Thornton then allegedly turned the cleaning tool on the employee he took it from and “mopped over the employee's shoes several times.
According to police reports, when the Doubletree hotel worker told Thornton to stop, he turned the other way and then backed her into a corner as she cried.
Officers said Thornton screamed insults and threats at them after they showed up and put him in a police car to take him to the station for his booking.
Despite his bizarre behavior, Thornton was released on $20,000 bond.
