Bridgeport Police Department Arrests Man for Reckless Endangerment

#Bridgeport, Conn. (November 16, 2015 Press Release) – The Bridgeport Police Department announced the arrest of a man for multiple counts of reckless endangerment. On Thursday, November 12, a police officer reported over the radio that he was almost struck by a Cadillac that was fleeing west on Fairfield Ave. The police officer who was almost struck then stated that the Cadillac jumped onto I-95 northbound at Pine St. When police officers ran the plate number of the vehicle, it revealed that the owner of the 2006 Cadillac is David Brandman of Milford (DOB: 4/6/1968). The Bridgeport Police Department notified the State Police and Milford Police Department.

The State Police and the Milford Police Department, working in conjunction with the Bridgeport Police Department, were able to track down the suspect shortly thereafter in Milford. As police officers attempted to pull the Cadillac over in Milford, the operator of the vehicle refused, followed by nearly striking a police officer who was on foot yelling for the vehicle to stop. Police officers were later able to stop the vehicle, and detained the suspect Brandman, in Milford. The Bridgeport Police Department took custody of Brandman from the Milford Police Department, and transported him to Bridgeport.

Brandman was booked, and charged with two counts of reckless endangerment in the 1st, and two counts of disobeying an officers signal in a construction zone. Bond was set at $10,000.

DoingItLocal Locates Stolen Landscape Truck

#Fairfield CT–#Bridgeport CT– Earlier this afternoon I reported on a stolen Greenscape landscaping truck take on Park Avenue with the keys.  While on my way to see Larry at Interstate Batteries I turned down Dewey Street and located the truck.  I called 911 who transferred me to Bridgeport Police.  I gave them the plate number and told them the truck was unoccupied and that I would stay with it until police arrived.  About 5 minutes later I see a man watching me from across the street so I took a ride down the block.  It turned out to be the owner of the truck.  Fairfield Police arrived and confirmed it was in fact the stolen truck.  I asked the owner why he left the keys in the truck and he said it was on the seat of the truck.  It was discovered the passenger’s side front tire was flat and that is why they abandoned the truck.  Police and the owner were checking to see if anything was missing when I left the scene.

 

Fairfield News: Air Scare

3:39pm–#Fairfield CT– Station House Pediatrics at 2228 Black Rock Turnpike called Fairfield Firefighters to meter their air after staff and patients complained of  lightheadedness.  Firefighters metered multiple times but found no readings.  Firefighters said that a treatment was being applied to the roof and it may have come in through the ventilation system.   During the metering process a book bag was found unattended which turned out to be forgotten.  Police told me it had identification and was just left behind and forgotten.  They are contacting the owner.  Our sponsor Servpro is on the scene with air scrubbing and cleaning the air so they are making it Like It Never Even Happened.
