Arrest Warrant

After learning that police held a warrant for her arrest, Karyn Anderson, 22, of 24 Sleepy Hollow Road turned herself over to them on the evening of November 15, and was charged with three counts of second-degree failure to appear in court, police said. Those charges stem from a November 2006 incident in which she was charged with driving with a suspended license, driving with a suspended vehicle registration, and with a headlamp violation, police said.

After processing, police released Anderson on $2,500 bail for a November 29 appearance in Danbury Superior Court.

DUI Arrest

Police report they stopped motorist Steven Petrella, 49, of 20 Housatonic Drive on the night of November 13 near 75 Glen Road because the vehicle that Petrella was driving was not staying to the right side of the road.

After investigating, police charged Petrella with driving under the influence, risk of injury to a minor, and failure to drive to the right.

The risk of injury charge was lodged because a minor was inside the vehicle that Petrella was driving, police said.

After he posted $260 bail, Petrella was released from custody for a November 27 court appearance.

Marijuana

After receiving a complaint on the afternoon of November 14, police responded to Dickinson Park on Elm Drive to investigate, after which they charged a 16-year-old boy and 17-year-old boy each with possession of less than four ounces of marijuana and with second-degree criminal trespassing.

Police released each of the two youths on written promises to appear November 30 in Danbury Youthful Offender Court.
