Nakedman Kidnaps Girlfiend’s Baby
Here is the police report on the story we reported as it was happening!
(Bridgeport, CT – March 11, 2013) – A 30-year-old faces charges after he allegedly stripped naked, snatched his girlfriend’s baby and ran through traffic on Interstate 95. Santos Rodriguez, of Burr Road, was arrested. The baby didn’t suffer serious injuries. Police were called early Saturday morning at about 4 a.m. The mother of the baby called police and said that her boyfriend, who appeared to be under the influence of drugs, had run out of her house naked while carrying her naked infant son. While en route, Officer Jeffrey Holtz was flagged down by a gas station manager who reported seeing a naked man running east on Fairfield Avenue and that he appeared to be carrying something.
Police in the area immediately started searching for Rodriguez and the baby. A short time later, police were notified that the Connecticut State Police had Rodriguez and the child on the exit ramp of I-95. Police also learned that Rodriguez had run across both the northbound and southbound lanes of the highway while holding the child. CSP reported dispatchers had received numerous 911 calls from motorists. As police arrived, a passing motorist pulled over on the ramp to help. Rodriguez opened the passenger door of the vehicle, put the baby on the front seat and sat down on the roadway. He was handcuffed there.
The child was taken to Bridgeport Hospital to be checked out. There, the mother told Holtz what had transpired: She said Rodriguez had come home after a night out and was acting erratically. He had a history of abusing PCP. Stumbling around, he said someone was after him again and said that she was the devil, at one point throwing a Bible at her.
He then stripped off his clothes, snatched the child from his playpen and began removing the child’s clothes. He then pushed his way past the mother and ran out of the house. Rodriguez was charged with first-degree kidnapping, risk of injury to a minor, reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct. He was held on $100,000 bond.

K-9 Convinces Suspect to Lie Down
(Bridgeport, CT – Feb. 28, 2013) – A 19-year-old thought better of bailing from a stolen vehicle when confronted by K-9 Trace and his partner Mark Martocchio. On Tuesday, Martocchio was on patrol when he spotted a 2013 Nissan Rogue that was listed on the daily stolen car sheet. The vehicle pulled into a gas station at Park and Wood avenues and the driver exited and walked toward the gas pump. He returned to the sport utility vehicle after seeing police. He tried to drive off but Martocchio blocked him in and exited the squad car with his K-9 Trace. The driver, Phillip Silas, 19, of Kelsey Street, started to bail out of the car but stopped when he heard the dog barking. The officer gave a verbal command to get on the ground or the dog will be released. “Silas looked over his shoulder and decided to lie down on the ground as requested,” Martocchio said.
There were no injuries, the stolen car was recovered and Silas was charged with first-degree larceny. His bond was set at $20,000.
