Woman Arrested in Milford, Wanted in Branford: Milford Police

MILFORD, CT — A New Haven woman is accused of stealing a vehicle and possessing cocaine, Milford police said.

On March 24, officers stopped a vehicle in the parking lot of 263 Cherry Street, police said. After a DMV check of the vehicle's registration showed it to be stolen out of New Haven, an investigation led to the arrest of Lori Snell-Savage, 54, of Ferry Avenue in New Haven, who was driving the vehicle, police said.

Police said Snell-Savage was also in possession of cocaine and had an active warrant for her arrest in which she is accused of failing to appear in court on March 3 stemming from a larceny arrest in Branford on Feb. 10, 2017.

She is charged with possession of a controlled substance and second-degree failure to appear. She was released after posting a $6,000 bond.
