Teens on Bikes Stealing Phones from Women [Video]

Unusual arrests and investigations from the area.

 

Trumbull Police said a Trumbull man allegedly had a machete strapped to his waist and was seen dumping brush on public property. He had been warned about the machete before, police said, since it's illegal to carry a knife with a blade of more than four inches long.

When confronted, he was reportedly uncooperative and his mother allegedly interfered as officers tried to arrest him. She is charged with interfering with police and breach of the peace.

Another Trumbull man claimed a car sped by him as he used his leafblower. He then allegedly approached the car with the leafblower, and was charged with reckless endangerment.

Great to see IMTI leading the way into the solar future! I went to that school specifically toRead More become a solar electrician. It was before they had a solar program, at the time it was the E-2 electrical course. I see America has a chance to build prosperity again if we will be forward-looking about our manufacturing and energy strategies. My company, Made In USA Solar LLC, aims to contribute to that in a small way, doing what we can by only installing materials made in USA. Congrats to IMTI on their ambitious solar plans!

Archie, Your wrong. Constitutions were written for a reason not to determine whether it's a livingRead More document or not. Politicians and or Anti-Americans only believe that the constitutions are a dead document. They are excuses to put forth an agenda. Without Constitutions this country would be chaos and we wouldn't have the freedoms we have today. Only in your eye's does the words not apply because you think government can prevent and do anything they want. It's the people that rule, NOT THE POLITICIANS!

That is looking at the Constitution as a dead piece of paper instead of a living document. LivingRead More Constitutions read as if they were written yesterday not over 250 years ago. Is the Constitution living or dead. When common sense and ordinary circumstances show that the words of the Constitution no longer apply then the document is dead. That is what occurs when weapons/arms have become so powerful and dangerous that having them available in the numbers you have in this country is tantamount to ultimate murder and chaos. This is definitely not what the Framers had in mind as shown by the words prefacing the 2nd amendment referring to a militia.
