#Norwalk CT–On September 26, 2018, Patrol Division Officers investigated a complaint that a male suspect had driven up to victim walking a dog on Winfield Street at Sasqua Road. The suspect exposed himself to the victim while masturbating. The suspect then drove away but circled back by the victim two more times while continuing to masturbate before leaving the area. Due to limited information at the time, the suspect was not identified. Special Victims Unit Detective Kristina LaPak assumed the investigation and later learned that the Fairfield Police Department had a similar incident in October 2018. The victim in the Fairfield incident provided a marker plate that matched the vehicle description given in the Norwalk incident. As a result of the investigation, David Sharpe was identified as the suspect in both the Fairfield and Norwalk incidents. Sharpe was arrested by the Fairfield Police Department in December 2018. Detective LaPak obtained a warrant for Sharpe’s arrest as well and Sharpe turned himself in at the Norwalk Police Department on January 11, 2019.

(Westport, CT) On 12/13/2018 at approximately 6:00pm, officers were dispatched to the area of 1700 Post Road East on a complaint of a vehicle versus pedestrian accident. Upon arrival, it was determined the pedestrian was riding a motorized wheelchair at the time of the collision. The incident required temporary closure of Post Road East at that location while officers, Westport Fire and Westport Emergency Medical Services were on scene. The pedestrian, a 57-year-old male from Westport, was transported to Norwalk Hospital with serious injuries. The operator of the vehicle was not injured during the incident and cooperative with investigators.
A preliminary investigation showed that this was a fairly slow speed collision that occurred while the struck party was attempting to navigate across Post Road East and may not have been using the nearby crosswalk while doing so. The incident remains under investigation. We urge all drivers to use extra caution and drive slowly during this busy holiday season. We also ask pedestrians to utilize marked crosswalks and the crossing signals at those locations. Pedestrians are also reminded to wear light colored and reflective clothing or carry a light while traveling at night.(Westport, CT) On 12/13/2018 at approximately 6:00pm, officers were dispatched to the area of 1700 Post Road East on a complaint of a vehicle versus pedestrian accident.
