Bantam Superior Court Judge Charles Gill told Bredickas Wednesday that when someone starts punching 83-year-old grandmothers around, "you got to think something is wrong with you."
Police say Bredickas had been drinking Tuesday and during a fit of anger struck his grandmother then poured gasoline over two of her cars, but apparently didn't have a match to start them ablaze.
Bond has been set at $25,000 and Bredickas has been ordered to stay away from his grandmother's house.
