Man sought by police hits troopers' garage
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - June 26, 2008 A 36-year-old man faces charges including criminal trespass,
reckless endangerment and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Police said the man broke through the access arm at the front
gate of state police headquarters in Bridgeport on Thursday, drove
his pickup into an open garage door and then crashed into a vehicle
lift.
The suspect was arrested when he attempted to flee. Troopers
said they learned later that Bridgeport police were searching for
the vehicle, which had been involved in accidents earlier in the
day.
No injuries were reported in any of the accidents.
The man told authorities he was being chased, but there was no
evidence to back that claim, police said.
