2:37pm–#Bridgeport Connecticut– Police are responding to Capital and Madison Avenue where a city bus driver is being assaulted by a woman passenger on the bus.
11:11am–#Fairfield Connecticut– One man was taken into custody after a raid at a home under construction at 615 Brooklawn Avenue. I haven’t had any need for contacts at the marshal’s office so I called Fairfield Police Chief who said his officers were not involved and had no information on it. All the undercover officers cars were unmarked police cars with New York plates. A witness told me it was one of the painters from New York. Online records said the home is owned by Dr. Goldye Meyer Phd. a licensed professional counselor. I doubt she will be giving the painters a good listing on Angie’s List!
