Vandalism

Police said they received reports from several Ashford Lane residents on the night of November 3 that someone was driving through their neighborhood in a large pickup truck and running down mailboxes and garbage cans. One resident supplied police with the marker plate number of the truck.

Police said they located Eric Ainley, 17, of 55 Botsford Hill Road at his home and found fresh damage on the truck. Police said they charged Ainley with third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and a stop sign violation. Police released Ainley on a promise to appear November 16 in Danbury Superior Court.
