Driving Violations

Police report that at about 11:23 pm on March 9, they stopped motorist Jullian Brivett, 33, of Bridgeport near 116 South Main Street to investigate because she had not kept to the right side of the road while driving.

Police said they then charged Brivett with failure to drive to the right and with driving with a suspended license. Police released Brivett on a written promise to appear March 24 in Danbury Superior Court.

Marijuana

Police said they responded to a complaint concerning a suspicious motor vehicle on Bishop Circle in Sandy Hook on the afternoon of March 10.

The motorist in question, David Hyde, 18, of 3 Owl Ridge Lane, was stopped for an investigation, after which he was charged with possession of less than four ounces of marijuana, police said.

Alcohol Case

After learning that police held a warrant for his arrest, George Vincent Collins, 20, of 2 Melody Lane, went to the police station late on the morning of March 12 and was charged with failure to respond to an infraction.

Police said they had issued Collins an infraction on a charge of illegal possession of alcohol by a minor last August 12, but Collins had not responded to that ticket, so they obtained a warrant for his arrest. That ticket carries a $136 fine.

After processing, police released Collins on $136 bail for a March 25 court appearance.

Town Truck

While working on Pootatuck Trail on the morning of March 11, George Mattern, 55, of Brookfield, who was driving a town-owned 2007 Volvo dump truck, raised the dumper box on the back of the truck to dump some earthen material on the road for repair work, police said.

Because Mattern was unaware of the clearance limits of such an action, the dumper box struck a telephone service line that provides telephone service to 23 Pootatuck Trail, police said.

The telephone line thus was pulled loose from the house, damaging the house’s exterior, police said. There were no injuries. Police took no enforcement.

SUV Vs Sedan

Interstate 84

Warrant

After learning that police held a warrant for him, Matthew Leone, 44, of Milford went to the police station on the morning of March 13 and turned himself over to police who charged him with failure to have automotive insurance, police said.
