DUI Arrest

Police report that while on patrol in Sandy Hook Center about 12:55 am April 16, they spotted motorist John T. Willmott, 40, of 56 Osborne Hill Road stopped at a traffic signal there which went through its red-green cycle several times before Willmott drove very slowly onto Washington Avenue.

Willmott then drifted while driving on the roadway and struck the right curb, police said.

Police stopped Willmott to investigate, after which they charged him with driving under the influence and with a travel lane violation.

Police held Willmott in custody on $5,000 bail for an arraignment later that day in Danbury Superior Court.

DUI Charge

Police report that they saw motorist Brad Balbierer, 39, of Brookfield drive through two stop signs, after which they stopped him on Hawleyville Road, near its intersection with Currituck Road, about 11 pm April 13.

After giving Balbierer field sobriety tests, police charged him with driving under the influence, failure to obey a stop sign, possession of less than four ounces of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Balbierer was released on $100 bail for an April 29 court appearance.

Vandalism

Police are investigating a Briarwood Lane resident’s complaint that someone intentionally damaged some deer fencing on the person’s property. Police learned of the matter on April 14. The crime is third-degree criminal mischief. Officer Todd Dingee, who is investigating the incident, asks anyone with information on the identity of the person who damaged the fencing to contact him at the police station at 426-5841.

Ford Hits Chevy

Police report a two-vehicle accident at the intersection of Wasserman Way and Berkshire Road about 2:18 pm April 15.

Motorist Kevin Krusewski, 20, of Seymour, who was driving a 2002 Chevrolet pickup truck eastward on Wasserman Way, stopped at a red traffic signal at that road’s intersection with Berkshire Road, police said.

As Krusewski then started to make a right turn onto Berkshire Road, he saw a fire truck traveling southward on Berkshire Road, so he abruptly stopped the Chevrolet, police said.

Motorist Sharyl Rider, 30, of Ayden, N.C., who was driving a 2002 Ford sport-utility vehicle, then struck the Chevrolet from behind, police said.

There were no injuries. Police verbally warned Rider for failure to drive a reasonable distance apart.

Pearl Street

About 6 pm April 10, motorist Joseph F. Cappiello, 17, of 13 Leopard Drive was driving a 1999 Nissan Maxima sedan southward on Philo Curtis Road and then attempted to make a right turn onto Pearl Street, police said.

Cappiello, however, then encountered a vehicle in his travel lane, so he swerved to avoid a collision, but in doing so, the Nissan went off the road and landed in a ditch, damaging the auto’s front end, police said.

Cappiello was not injured. Police verbally warned him for making a restricted turn.
