UConn Police: Teen Tried To Dislodge Stop Sign After Women's National Championship Game

STORRS, CT - A Vermont teen is due in Rockville Superior Court on April 13 to explain to a judge why he tried to pull out a stop sign after the University of Connecticut women's basketball team won the 2015-16 national championship, UConn police said.

On April 5, at 10:44 p.m., UConn police were directing traffic outside of Gampel Pavilion as "a very large crowd" was exiting the basketball arena after the national title game. Gampel hosted a viewing party.

Officers saw Caleb Kasupski, 19, of 80 Barnett St., South Burlington, VT, attempting to dislodge the stop sign on Calhoun Way near the Hillside Road intersection, according to a police report.

Kasupski was also yelling to his friends to join him in taking down the stop sign, UConn police said. Kasupski was then arrested for breach of peace, according to a report.
