|
A Long Neck Point Road man on a bicycle was charged with trespassing by a Tokeneke Association constable, but only with difficulty, according to police. According to Darien police, the constable (one of three former Darien police officers who work for the association and who all have arrest powers) gave the following account (an accusation not proven in court):
At about 7:20 p.m. on Thursday, July 23, the constable saw a cyclist riding south on Cross Road, one of the Tokeneke Association’s private roads. He told the cyclist, a 54-year-old man, to stop, but the rider looked at him and continued pedaling. The constable then got behind the cyclist, who started heading east on Searles Road, got ahead of him and stood in the middle of the road near an intersection. The cyclist stopped.
