Police Blotter: Breaking Probation and Drugging and Driving

This information was provided by area police departments. Neither arrests nor charges indicate a conviction, and neither means that a person is guilty of what police allege.

 

On August 17, Bethel Police assisted probation officers with the interview of Frank Sweeney, 57, of Greenwood Ave, Bethel.  Sweeney was released from that interview and was driven to Linda Lane by an acquaintance.  Shortly after, probation officers made a phone call to the Linda Lane home.  They realized there was a problem and  Bethel Police hurried to the residence, just as Police Dispatch received an emergency 911 call from that home.  The officers saw Sweeney attempting to flee from the backyard but he was quickly apprehended by the officers, who found that when Sweeney arrived at the Linda Lane home, he became involved in a verbal argument and he broke several items in the home including a glass table.

He resisted being handcuffed and was charged with Disorderly Conduct, Criminal Mischief, and Interfering with an Officer.  He was held on a $2,500 bond.

James Monroe, 31, of Parmalee Hill Rd, Newtown, CT was charged with Driving Under the Influence, Possession of Narcotics, and Possession of Paraphernalia after he used narcotics inside of his car and then had a car accident.  He was held on a $750 bond.

Looks like Matty and Aquarion have a little pre-decision propaganda campaign going on. Shameless.

They can post all these cute award announcements on the fences they'll build around our reservoirRead More lands--the lands you won't be able to go into anymore once this good ol' boy sale goes through!

Let's see, the Bureau of Economic Analysis rated Connecticut's economy the worst in the nation andRead More this is the type of legislation we are to expect from and congratulate our legislators for? Nice priorities, Dave. Now that you have such a victory under your belt, what are you going to do about the economic mess we're in? http://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Connecticut-s-economy-worst-in-nation-4583083.php

Maybe the reason we have such economic problems is that it literally takes an act of Congress toRead More allow kids to go swim in a place where people have been swimming for 50 years. Note that the reason the beach was closed (geese) is still a problem, still causes beach closings and plane crashes, yet no one can do anything about it apparently!

These clowns find time to pass swimming legislation, legislation restricting gun rights and accessRead More to public information....but they can't pass legislation to help our state's economy, the worst in the nation. Davey and his pals have had enough fun in Hartford. It's time for a change.

Knickerbocker's probably getting some sort of sweetheart deal or kickback out of it. KnickerbockerRead More only cares about what's in it for Knickerbocker.

While I agree with Mr. & Mrs. Fiddes' position, in order for Bethel to remedy the situationRead More itself means that town money will have to be spent. There is quite a vocal constituency that considers raising taxes to pay for *anything* an outrage. If that group can be swayed by this issue, then perhaps we can keep Aquarion out.
