Enfield Arson Suspect Charged On 10 More Warrants: Police

ENFIELD, CT — A convicted felon who has been free on nearly $400,000 bond since being charged with first-degree arson in April was arrested again at a local motel Sunday on 10 more active warrants.

Christopher Colbert, 41, was taken into custody around 9 a.m. at the Enfield Inn on Route 5. Nine warrants were for failing to appear at scheduled court dates, while the 10th contained assault and strangulation charges stemming from a domestic violence incident, Lt. Willie Pedemonti said.

Court-set bonds on the nine failure to appear warrants totaled $915,000, while a $100,000 bond was set on the assault, strangulation, reckless endangerment and interfering with an officer case.

Colbert was slated to be arraigned Monday in Hartford Superior Court.

In early April, he was charged on a warrant with first-degree arson in connection to a Jan. 24 fire at 30 Montano Road. He has four other cases pending in court, for crimes ranging from narcotics, reckless endangerment, interfering with police and violation of probation, according to judicial records.

Colbert has been convicted of crimes six times since 2014, receiving jail terms of between 30 days and two years, judicial records show.
