2023-06-30@11:08pm--#Bridgeport CT-- Tonight there was a crash that shut down Fairfield Avenue at Holland Avenue (in front of the new Starbucks). Assistant Chief Andrew Ellis oversaw the extrication that took about an hour to help the driver out of the SUV. The driver was wedged tightly against a truck that appeared to be parked. The dashboard also pinned the driver. I always marvel at how the firefighters worked in synch to free the driver. Not many words are spoken, they all know what needs to be done. It's not every day you get to see this! So here is almost the full extrication and see how they worked to free the driver and see for yourself how well-trained they are!…

On June 28, 2023, Kathleen Thibault, a 64-year-old white female from Demaio Drive, was arrested on Milford Point Road for violating a restraining order and assaulting a police officer. The victim of the restraining order stated that Thibault had shown up at their residence and began yelling at them. Thibault fled the scene in her vehicle but was later taken into custody at her home. While Thibault was being booked, she became belligerent and threw a soda at the booking officer, drenching them in their face, shoulder, shirt, arm, and watch. Thibault was additionally charged with assault on a police officer. Good thing it was a soft drink. Thibault was released on $3,000 bail
