Westport News: Woman Arrested In Burglary
On Thursday May 21st, 2015 Officers responded to a report of a burglary in progress to a residence on Grove Point Road. The complainant reported that a female had attempted to enter their residence. When the suspect could not gain entry because the door was locked, they watched her walk over to the neighbor’s house and enter his residence. Knowing that the homeowner was home when the suspect had entered the neighbor’s house the complainants attempted to call him while calling the police. Arriving officers located the suspect inside the residence. The homeowner had confronted the suspect and directed officers to her location. When officers attempted to take custody of the suspect, she struggled. In the midst of the struggle with the suspect, an officer felt a hard object concealed under her shirt on her side. Once controlled, the officer retrieved a very long sheathed knife from her person. It was later learned that the suspect had taken the knife from the kitchen of the victim’s residence.

Just after 3:30 Thursday morning firefighter received numerous calls for a fire at 206 Scofield Avenue. When I arrived about six minutes after hearing the call the 2nd floor and attic were fully engulfed in flames. Firefighters were already on scene and had begun an impressive interior attack that kept the fire confined to the second floor. I met with the first floor occupants, 3 males who made it out safely. They told me 3 other males, no children lived on the second floor. They were uncertain if they made it out. I kept checking with EMS and I’m happy to report they were not busy. Within twenty minutes the firefighters had the inferno under control. After listening to Mayor Finch and Fire Chief Rooney at the firefighter promotions tonight I looked at each duty the firefighters did and realized just how specific and detailed their work is. It is easy to take for granted what they do because they do it without thinking and flawlessly. The fire marshal was called to the scene to investigate the cause of the fire. When I left around 4am I was happy to see EMS was not busy and there appeared to be no injuries.
