Noise Enforcement

Police said they conducted a traffic noise enforcement program on Glen Road, near its intersection with Walnut Tree Hill Road, on the afternoons of September 3 and 4.

In that project, police observed 27 motorcyclists, two of whom were found to be in violation of state regulations for having altered their motorcycles' mufflers to increase exhaust noise, according to police.

Police said they issued written warnings to the two motorcyclists, requiring them to resolve the exhaust noise problems before using the motorcycles again.

Three Charges

About 9 pm on September 8, Newtown police, aided by Bethel police, served an arrest warrant at a home in Bethel against a 17-year-old male in connection with a June 2008 crime at a Country Squire Road home in Sandy Hook.

 Police said they charged the youth with third-degree burglary, third-degree larceny, and third-degree criminal mischief.

In June 2008, the youth allegedly broke into the Country Squire Road home and stole items including a laptop computer, diamond ring, and a collection of pens, police said. The value of the items stolen exceeded $2,500, according to police.

Following arrest processing, police held the youth on $50,000 bail for a September 9 arraignment on the charges in Danbury Superior Court. Because the youth is under age 18, state law shields his identity from public disclosure.

Assault

 Police said they responded to Hot Shots Grille, Restaurant, and Tap Room at 130 Mt Pleasant Road about 12:16 am on September 9 after receiving a report that an assault had occurred there.

Police said they arrested Anderson Silva, 30, of Danbury on charges of third-degree assault and breach of peace in the incident, which resulted in minor injuries to a male victim.

After posting $100 bail, police released Silva for arraignment on the charges September 23 in Danbury Superior Court.

Vehicular Violations

Police said that at about 2:30 am on September 6, they spotted motorist Luana Tamagnone, 21, of Danbury driving westward on Church Hill Road, near its intersection with The Boulevard, with an unlit rear marker plate.

Police stopped the vehicle and investigated, after which they charged Tamagnone with failure to illuminate a rear marker plate and with driving with a suspended license. Tamagnone posted $100 bail for a September 22 court appearance.

Alcohol Charges

Police report that while they were working on underage alcohol enforcement duty about 8 pm September 4, they spotted Anthony Whitlock, 22, of Southbury leaving a South Main Street package store with a package of what was later learned to be beer.

Police said that Whitlock then delivered that package of beer to two minors who they later stopped for a motor vehicle violation.

Police said they charged Whitlock with delivery of alcohol to minors. Police released Whitlock on a written promise to appear in court on September 18.

 Also, police charged two people with illegal possession of alcohol by a minor. They are Timothy Shepard, 20, of 1 Glover Avenue, and Kaitlin Freeman, 18, of 4 Farm Field Ridge Road.

Sandy Hook Center

Police report a motor vehicle accident on eastbound Church Hill Road in Sandy Hook Center in which two adjacent vehicles made contact about 4:44 pm September 8.

The motorists involved in the accident were Roy Low, 46, of 56 Riverside Road, who was driving a 1995 Chevrolet Lumina minivan, and motorist Barbara Jones-Bouton, 47, of 14 Deerfield Drive, who was driving a 1999 Jeep Wrangler SUV, according to police.

There were no injuries. Police took no enforcement.

Alcohol

About 6 pm September 4, police received a report that beer cans were being thrown out from a vehicle in the Queen Street area, so they investigated the complaint.

Police said that on finding that vehicle, they investigated. Police said they determined that Quentin Ham, 21, of 5 Birch Rise Drive was a backseat passenger in that vehicle and had been throwing the beer cans out of the vehicle. Police said they issued Ham an infraction for littering.

Police said that a 17-year-old male was driving the vehicle. Police charged that youth with possession of alcohol by a minor and with violating passenger restrictions on drivers under age 18.

Because the person charged is under age 18, his identity is shielded from disclosure by state law. Police said the incident was handled by their underage alcohol enforcement unit.

After learning that police held a warrant for his arrest, Justin Gaynor, 22, of 41 Goodyear Road turned himself over to police at the police station on the afternoon of September 8, and was charged with two counts of violation of probation, police said. Details on the case were not available.
