#Milford CT– On October 11, 2023, Officer Studdard was working near 1201 Boston Post Road. At approximately 1841 hours, he saw Jeffrey Yu exit a car and go into the mall. Officer Studdard knew Yu from past experiences and was aware that there was a warrant for his arrest.

Upon returning to his vehicle, Yu was approached by officers and asked to get out of his car. Yu refused to do this and resisted arrest. After a struggle, officers were able to get him out of the vehicle and place him under arrest. During the arrest, officers discovered that Yu was carrying drugs and drug-related items.
