Police: Darien Rest Stop Becomes Arrest Stop for 2 Felons With Drugs Intended for Sale, Guns
|
When state police troopers saw that a car made an unsafe lane change and followed other cars too closely on Interstate 95 in Darien, the car was pulled over at a rest stop, where police found drugs and guns, then arrested the two occupants on charges including illegal weapons possession and possession of drugs with intent to sell, state police said. State police described what happened with this account, which includes accusations not proven in court:
At 11:49 p.m., Sunday, troopers from Troop G in Bridgeport who were patrolling Interstate 95 in Darien saw the vehicle, a 2012 Hyundai Sonata, commit the traffic violations. The car was pulled over at a rest stop. (The state police announcement didn’t say whether the car was on the northbound- or southbound-traffic side of the highway, or which of the two Darien rest stops the arrest took place.)
Troopers spoke with the occupants of the car — Sarah Allen, 18 (and the driver), and William Page, 19. Both are Main residents (state police did not say what community in Maine they live in).
