Embattled Former Bridgeport BOE Member Offered Plea Deal: Report

BRIDGEPORT, CT — Chris Taylor, the embattled former Bridgeport Board of Education member facing criminal charges, has been offered a plea deal in an attempted kidnapping case out of Seymour, reported the Connecticut Post.

Taylor was offered a deal by prosecutors that if he pleads guilty to two felonies, he could receive a suspended prison sentence and probation. He is due back in court on the case in October.

He is accused of a 2019 attempted kidnapping of his wife's son, who Taylor said has a substance abuse problem.

In a separate incident last month, Taylor was arrested on an assault charge in a road rage case in Fairfield where he is accused of punching a 17-year-old, according to authorities.
