Failure To Respond

After learning that police held a warrant for his arrest, Dakotah Lajoie, 21, of 168 Huntingtown Road turned himself in at the police station on the afternoon of October 9, and was charged with failure to respond to an infraction, police report.

That charge stems from Lajoie’s not responding to an infraction ticket that he received in April for a case of simple trespassing on railroad tracks near Hanover Road, police said.

Lajoie posted $100 bail and was released for an October 23 appearance in Danbury Superior Court.
