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.

All three work together and live in the same multi-family house.As police and medics tended to the woman, who had defensive wounds to her hands, Officers Ean Smith and Roberto Quintanilla and Sgt. Robert Magnuson went to the location of the assault at 1251 Noble St. They found the male victim, 31, who gave the same account as the female victim. After some searching, the officers found the suspect, Pedro Ciriaco-Cantu, 32, hiding in a rear garage. He was placed under arrest and then showed police where he hid the knife.

Bridgeport Fire Engine Donated To Haiti
(Bridgeport, CT – March, 2013) – A 1982 Mack fire engine went on its final call for service in Bridgeport – to bring hope to an island nation 1,500 miles away. The decommissioned pumper left Bridgeport Friday for Massachusetts, where it will be loaded onto a military transport plane and begin its journey to Haiti. “I’d like to thank the Bridgeport Fire Department, which for many, many years took tender loving care of this Mack fire engine. This has many years of life saving left in it,” said Mayor Bill Finch at the send-off ceremony. “The City of Bridgeport is so proud to be able to take its still serviceable fire apparatus and give it to countries that need the help, like Haiti.”
The truck is being driven to Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee, Mass., where it will be loaded onto a military transport plane. It ultimately will arrive in Port-au-Prince and be driven to the city of Petion-Ville, a city of 280,000. To make it happen, the city partnered with Haiti-works Inc., a local non-profit dedicated to relief efforts and rebuilding in Haiti after the 7.0 earthquake.
“Today is such a great day for all Haitians,” said Pierre d’Haiti from Haiti-works, Inc . “This is what it is all about. This is not just a red machine going to Haiti. It is hope that we are bringing to the island of Haiti.” Councilwoman Michelle Lyons, who spent a decade doing missionary work in Haiti, was instrumental in making the donation a reality. She also worked with Congressman Jim Himes to bring a resolution to Congress urging municipalities around the country to donate decommissioned equipment to Haiti. “This is an exciting moment,” she said at the send-off.
Deputy Fire Chief Robert Petrucelli said the engine had been used as a spare until last year, when it was taken out of service completely. Usually, the fire department goes through an auction process to dispose of unneeded equipment but City Council passed an ordinance allowing the department to donate equipment to countries in need. The City has previously donated fire trucks to the Dominican Republic.
Bridgeport Detectives Arrest Shelton Woman for Threatening Letters
(Bridgeport, CT – Feb 26, 2013) – A Shelton woman faces multiple counts of threatening after she sent letters containing a suspicious substance to Saint Vincent’s Medical Center.D etective David Garcia led the investigation. He and Lt. Chris Lamaine arrested Theresa Burden, 37, of 71 Sachem Drive in Shelton, today for four counts of first-degree threatening. She was held on $50,000 bond.
Burden is a student of the St. Vincent’s School of Nursing, and the charges stem from threatening letters containing a suspicious substance that have been sent to the hospital commencing on Dec. 12, 2012.
The letters caused alarm on numerous occasions within the institution, resulting in the hospital closing portions of the facility until the substance could be analyzed by state and federal authorities.
Burden was arrested at her home without incident and the motive for sending the letters has not been established. The investigation is ongoing, according to Capt. James Viadero, the head of the Bridgeport detective bureau.
The State Police are currently investigating a similar case in which threatening letters containing a similar substance were sent to the Governor. No arrest has been made in that investigation.
