MONROE, CT — Police tracked down and fined the person responsible for illegal dumping of trash at Webb Mountain Park, 90 Old Fish Road, Thursday morning.

At around 10:56 a.m., police received a complaint from the Monroe Parks and Recreation Department after a city resident reported the incident to them.

According to police, someone dumped a large amount of trash, including large items such as an old television and air conditioner, on an embankment near campsites 8 through 11.

Officers found records with a name and address in Shelton and spoke to a couple there who said they were moving and had paid a contractor to take their belongings to the dump for them.

Police tracked down the repairman, a 22-year-old Shelton resident, who reportedly admitted to dumping trash in the park during their conversation.

He was fined $770 for dumping garbage on public property.

Domestic incident

A 62-year-old Fan Hill Road man was charged with third-degree assault and disturbing the peace Monday evening after an argument with his adult son escalated into a physical altercation.

Police responded to the domestic incident when the man’s wife called shortly after 10 p.m.

Officers’ accounts conflict, but they learned that the argument escalated into a scuffle and more physical altercations. They concluded that the father was allegedly the “dominant aggressor,” which led to his arrest, police said.

He was released on $2,500 bail and was scheduled to appear in court the next day.

According to police, the son had a bruise on his neck and a scratch on his chin. He was examined by Monroe EMS and then taken to Bridgeport Hospital for further evaluation.

Rollover accident

An 18-year-old Stamford man told police the driver’s side tire on his 2013 Honda Pilot blew out shortly before he lost control of his vehicle and was involved in a rollover crash while traveling north on Old Newtown Road early Thursday morning.

According to police, the Honda veered off the road to the right, hit an embankment and rolled over before landing back on its tires.

Police said the driver was reportedly not injured, but was evaluated by Monroe EMS and taken to Bridgeport Hospital for further evaluation.

The Honda was towed away due to total loss and the driver received a warning for speeding.

The rollover accident occurred in the 90 block of Old Newtown Road around 6:45 a.m.

A fraudulent account

The Army Aviation Association of America, 593 Main St., filed a fraud report Wednesday after someone opened an AT&T account in the nonprofit’s name without the nonprofit’s knowledge.

An employee told police she received a bill in the mail for $744 from AT&T and learned that the fraudulent account was opened on June 27, 2024.

The organization is working with AT&T to resolve the issue and has filed a police report as part of the process.
