Oxford Man Turns In Daughter To Police Following Theft

A local man turned his daughter in to police Friday after he noticed she had stolen some of his prescription drugs from his house, according to a news release on file at the Oxford Resident Trooper’s Office.

The man’s daughter, Ashlee M. Duquette, 20, of Oxford, is accused of taking the prescriptions from her father’s home at 176 Oxford Road, or Route 67, the release states. Oxford Cpl. James Burr made the arrest.

Duquette was also wanted for failure to appear at Waterbury Superior Court to face charges stemming from an October 2010 incident in which she was charged in Waterbury with third-degree assault and disorderly conduct, according to state Judicial Branch records. So she was also charged Friday with failure to appear.

Police have two addresses listed for Duquette - one at her father’s house at 176 Oxford Road and another address at 172 Punkup Road.

Duquette was held on a $3,500 bond and is scheduled to be arraigned at Derby Superior Court on Monday.
