Unlawful Restraint Prosecution Dropped

In Danbury Superior Court on September 28, a prosecutor dropped a charge of second degree unlawful restraint that had been pending against Kenneth Wielebinski, 41, of 41 Hundred Acres Road, Newtown.

At about 5:42 pm July 4, Wielebinski spotted a woman near some construction equipment, which was parked in a lot near 41 Hundred Acres Road, according to police.

Wielebinski apparently thought that the woman was damaging the equipment, police have said. As the woman jogged into a nearby field, Wielebinski followed her and then grabbed her and told her that he was making a citizen’s arrest, according to police.

Wielebinski then forcefully escorted the woman to the 41 Hundred Acres Road area, as she shouted for help, according to police. Wielebinski called police to the scene to investigate the matter.

Police have said they found no damage done to the construction equipment and then arrested Wielebinski on a charge of second-degree unlawful restraint, which is a misdemeanor.
