Question
Is this spice bush? Found in a park in Mansfield, CT.
Answer
jrhodes, you have photographed a species of Ilex (winterberry), a member of the Aquifoliaceae (holly family). I cannot tell you for certain which species without a close-up photograph of the fruiting sepals, but it is likely you have Ilex verticillata (common winterberry).
