MONROE, Conn. — A 47-year-old Trumbull woman was issued a misdemeanor summons for evading responsibility and failure to maintain the proper lane after allegedly hitting a speed limit sign and a guardrail on Wheeler Road Saturday morning.
At approximately 10:20 a.m., police received a complaint about a tan Land Rover being driven erratically south bound on Route 111 near Wheeler Road.
Officers reportedly found damage to a guardrail in the 900-block of Wheeler Road and a black side mirror belonging to a Land Rover on the ground by the speed limit sign.
Using information from the mirror, officers traced it back to an address in Trumbull, police said, adding Trumbull police officers went to the home to talk to the owner. There they found a Land Rover with a missing passenger side mirror, according to the report.
Police said the woman admitted to driving the vehicle. She was released on a promise to appear in court on May 12.
A 2-vehicle-crash
Police responded to a two-car-crash at the intersection of Main Street and Verna Road Saturday night.
At approximately 7:52 p.m., police said a 44-year-old Fairfield man stopped at a stop sign on Verna Road in his 2017 Jeep Wrangler and took a left onto Main Street (Route 25), where he struck the front bumper of a 2016 Toyota Prius heading north.
The Fairfield man told officers he didn’t see the Toyota, because its headlights weren’t on.
The other driver, a 62-year-old Milton, N.Y., woman, told police her headlights turn on automatically when it’s dark. She told officers she had a wrist injury and was treated by Monroe Volunteer Emergency Medical Service personnel at the scene, but declined further medical care, police said.
Police said the Fairfield man was not injured.
The damaged Prius was towed, but the Jeep could be driven away from the scene.
The Fairfield man was issued a written warning for failure to obey a stop sign. Though he had stopped, police said part of the process is making sure it is safe to go before driving again.
Violation of a protective order
A 43-year-old Shelton man turned himself in on a warrant on April 22, charging him with violating a protective order on Christmas last year, according to police.
At approximately 6:23 p.m. on Dec. 25, he called the police department to ask for a welfare check on his daughter and soon-to- be ex-wife, because he said he was unable to reach them, police said, adding he told the dispatcher his daughter was supposed to be brought to him at 1 p.m. that day.
Officers investigated the matter and determined there were no violations.
Later that night, the wife called police to file a complaint against her husband for harassment. She has primary custody of the children and did not want him at the house to open presents with the kids, because he had the flu, police said.
The parents allegedly agreed to meet on a different day and she thought the matter was resolved, but then she told police he called her and they had an argument.
Since the end of the call, police said the victim had 14 missed calls and texts from him. During the course of their investigation, police said officers learned there is a full no contact protective order against him.
The Shelton man was released after posting seven percent of his $25,000 court set bond and was scheduled to appear in court on April 23.
