Fairfield News: Signs, Signs Everywhere A Sign

If you think there are a lot more signs cropping up all over town you aren’t imagining it and no it isn’t political season…..yet. I’ve been in talks with First Selectman Michael C. Tetreau for about three weeks now regarding the advertising signs cropping up all over the town. The signs seem to be cropping up on public common areas at library, school and major intersections. But if you look around the visual pollution has been seen in Bridgeport, Stratford and even in Derby. The biggest issue for Fairfield has been enforcement. As soon as the town takes them down more go back up. They are illegal but there is not enough town employees to enforce it. The first selectman is looking for ideas. Anyone have any enforcement ideas? Is your town under sign attack?

Si usted piensa que hay muchos más signos de cultivo por toda la ciudad que no está imaginando y no, todavía no es temporada política …… He estado en conversaciones con el Concejal Principal Michael C. Tetreau por cerca de tres semanas respecto a los carteles publicitarios que surgen por todo el pueblo. Los signos parecen estar apareciendo en áreas comunes públicas en la biblioteca, la escuela y las principales intersecciones. Pero si usted mira alrededor de la contaminación visual que se ha visto en Bridgeport, Stratford y hasta en Derby. El mayor problema para Fairfield ha sido la aplicación. Tan pronto como la ciudad que lleva por más volver a subir. Son ilegales, pero no hay suficientes empleados de la ciudad para hacerla cumplir. El primer concejal está buscando ideas. Alguien tiene alguna idea de fiscalización? ¿Es su ciudad bajo ataque señal?

Se você acha que há um monte de sinais surgindo por toda a cidade você não está imaginando coisas e não, não é época de política ….. ainda. Estive em negociações com a Primeira Selectman Michael C. Tetreau por cerca de três semanas em relação às placas de propaganda surgindo por toda a cidade. Os sinais parecem estar surgindo em áreas comuns públicas na biblioteca, escola e principais cruzamentos. Mas se você olhar em torno da poluição visual tem sido visto em Bridgeport, Stratford e até mesmo Derby. O maior problema para Fairfield tem sido execução. Assim que a cidade leva-los mais voltam a surgir. Eles são ilegais, mas não há funcionários da cidade o suficiente para aplicar a lei. O primeiro selectman está à procura de ideias. Alguém tem alguma idéia de aplicação? Esta sua cidade sob ataque sinal?

Westport News: Bank Robbed at Gun Point, 1 arrest made

In  a story we brought to you live as it was happening, here is the police report:

#Westport CT–07/02/2014 at approximately 4:55 P.M. the Westport Police

Department responded to a report of an armed robbery at TD Bank at 1111 Post Road East.

Two suspects entered the bank, and one displayed a black handgun demanding money. After

receiving an undetermined amount of money from the teller the suspects exited the bank and

The suspects in the armed robbery are described as being black males, each wearing black

shirts, black pants and ski masks. They fled in what was described as a small black hatch

back with dark tinted windows, possibly a Nissan Versa or Volkswagen. A registration of CT

While officers were checking the surrounding areas for the vehicle, a Westport Police Detective

observed a person matching the description of a suspect walking on foot in the area of Greens

Farms Rd and Westway Rd. Upon approach, the suspect attempted to conceal himself in the

wood line. The detective ordered the suspect out at gun point and he was subsequently placed

into custody after evidence from TD bank was discovered in his possession.

The suspect was transported to Norwalk Hospital at his request for a medical issue. He was

subsequently discharged and transported to the Westport Police Department for processing. At

Pursuit from Westport to Bridgeport Ends In Flames

VIDEO REPORT– ©2014 DoingItLocal.com NOT FOR BROADCAST Internet use permissible with commercial pre-roll and watermarks remaining in the video at all times.
Around 12:45 Monday morning State Police started following a Green Jeep headed northbound on I-95 near exit 17.

They did not engage in pursuit until clearing traffic in Fairfield.  Fairfield Police were called into the pursuit early on and officers were at the ready with spike strips at designated locations.  Speeds never exceed 60 miles per hour.  Police were successful on their first try with the spike strips and the Jeep got off the highway at exit 22.  The driver led police down Grasmere Avenue then to the Circle. Police radios got quiet until the Jeep was on Kings Highway East near Miller Nissan.

The pursuit continued down North Avenue in Bridgeport where Bridgeport Police entered the pursuit.  The Jeep continued down Pacific and Staples Streets where the pursuit ended on Atwater Street near Norman Street where the Jeep caught fire. Police tried using handheld extinguishers but the fire proved to be too much.  Three separate police departments coordinated as one and in no time the suspect was apprehended. I’m told the suspect was found hiding behind trash cans.  At that time the firefighters arrived and extinguished the fire.

We do not know what the suspect was wanted for but it is certain his charges will be much more than the original charges.  If we get any further updates I’ll let you know at DoingItLocal.com

Alrededor de 0:45 la Policía del Estado el lunes por la mañana comenzó a raíz de un Jeep verde hacia el norte por la I-95 cerca de la salida 17.

La velocidad no fue superior a 60 kilómetros por hora. La policía tuvo éxito en su primer intento y el jeep se salió de la carretera en la salida 22. El conductor llevó a la policía a Grasmere Avenue. Radios de la policía estaban en silencio hasta que el jeep llegó a Kings Highway, cerca de Miller Nissan.

La persecución continuó por la North Ave en Bridgeport, donde la policía de Bridgeport entró en la persecución. El Jeep continuó hacia abajo, donde la persecución terminó en Atwater Street, cerca de Norman Street, donde el Jeep se incendió. La policía trató de utilizar los extintores portátiles, pero el fuego era demasiado. Tres departamentos de policía independientes coordinados y en ningún momento se detuvieron al sospechoso. Se dijo que el sospechoso fue encontrado escondido detrás de los botes de basura. En ese momento, el cuerpo de bomberos llegó y apagó el fuego.

No sabemos por qué se quería que el sospechoso, pero sabemos que sus cargos serán mucho más que el original. Si tenemos cualquier actualización que voy anunciar la DoingItLocal.com

Westport Little League Embezzlement

In March of this year the board of the Westport Little League contacted the Westport Police Department regarding the results from their yearly internal audit. Board members presented the results of the audit which showed that over $40,000.00 worth of funds and equipment were unaccounted for.

All of the items were found to emanate from one individual who was given authorization from the board to order equipment and submit expense reports for reimbursement. The investigation then focused on this individual who was interviewed by detectives and eventually admitted to falsifying invoices, cancelling orders after submitting invoices for equipment so that payment was made to him by the league but the items were never delivered, billing the league for clinics that were never held, having parents pay for hotel rooms and expense’s for out of town games and then not paying them back even though he submitted invoices and was reimbursed by the League, and selling league merchandise and keeping the money.

Arrested was the following: Kevin Hlavac, 39 years of age 132 Grey Stone Rd Bridgeport CT.
