#Bridgeport CT–The Bridgeport Police were contacted by a school official Thursday 1/2/20 at approximately 7:00 am regarding a principal who was notified by a student, about a threatening post that allegedly was sent to several students via Snapchat. The threat posted on social media (Snapchat) was directed at several city schools. Upon reviewing the information Bridgeport Police SRO’s, specifically Officer Rondell Jones and Officer Thiago Reaes conducted a swift and extensive investigation under the direction of Sgt. Marlon Campo, with assistance from Sgt. Angelo Collazo.
The investigation spanned over two days, resulting in a juvenile being identified as a potential suspect on Friday 1/3/2020. During this investigation, Police were able to identify the address of the suspect and after arriving at the suspect’s residency today, with the juvenile’s parents present, he quickly confessed to being responsible for the threatening post. The juvenile stated it was not meant to be serious; only an attempt to get out of going to school.
The juvenile student was charged with, Threatening First and Breach of Peace. The student was released into the custody of his parents. This investigation will continue to determine if any other students were involved.
Bridgeport Police would like to emphasis that immediate police presence was put into place around all schools as a precaution when the original threat surfaced. Any and all such threats are taken very seriously by public safety officers in the City of Bridgeport. Captain Porter who oversees the School Resource Officers and Community Services Division of the Bridgeport Police Department advised, “The seriousness of such actions increases anxiety in students, and the disruptions it causes not only occurs within the schools, but increases the police officers responsibilities to keep our residents safe.”

#Westport CT– On Monday December 23, 2019 at approximately 4:11pm, officers responded to TD Bank, located at 185 Main Street, on a complaint of a female customer attempting to cash a fraudulent check in the amount of $988.00. Bank employees further reported that prior to this attempt, the bank had received a fraud alert email advising that this same female accompanied two other males had been involved in recent fraudulent activity in neighboring jurisdictions earlier that day. This informational message reported the suspects were traveling in a silver sport utility vehicle.
Upon officers’ arrival, the female suspect, later identified as Tanika Smith, was at the counter and was detained while the matter was further investigated. It was ultimately determined that the check that Smith was attempting to cash was a forgery and that the account from which she was attempting to draw funds did not exist. Other responding officers located a vehicle parked in the area that was occupied by two subjects which matched the description provided in the bank’s internal fraud alert message. Through investigation, officers were able to confirm that this vehicle and its two occupants, identified as Tavares Civers and Eric Robinson, were connected with Smith and that the three had presumably been working together. In the course of this investigation, a credit card was found to be in the possession of Civers which did not belong to him. Both Civers and Robinson were also found to be in possession of cash, consistent with making prior successful transactions.
Based on the investigation, all three individuals were taken into custody and transported to police headquarters for processing. Tanika Smith was charged with 53a-48(53a- 125a) Conspiracy to Commit Larceny in the Fifth Degree, 53a-49(53a-125a) Criminal Attempt at Larceny in the Fifth Degree and 53a-140 Forgery in the Third Degree.

Tavares Civers was charged with 53a-48(53a-125a) Conspiracy to Commit Larceny Fifth Degree, 53a-48(53a-140) Conspiracy to Commit Forgery Third Degree and 53a- 128c Payment Card Theft.

Trump Admin owes a full explanation of airstrike reports—all the facts—to Congress & the American people. The present authorizations for use of military force in no way cover starting a possible new war. This step could bring the most consequential military confrontation in decades.
