Today's riddle: How fast is milk when you pour it? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• 'One of our own': Conn. law enforcement rallies around 10-year-old battling cancer (police1.com) — Rocky Hill hosted a heartfelt show of support as officers from 24 Connecticut law enforcement agencies surprised 10-year-old cancer patient and police superfan Collin Genetti-Moore to lift his spirits. The gathering at the state Division of Criminal Justice campus featured a police motorcade, gifts, and emotional tributes that underscored how deeply his story has touched officers across the region.
• He was hours from execution in 1954: He died at 101 (dagens.com) — Rocky Hill figures into a remarkable Connecticut justice story because 101-year-old Francis Clifford Smith spent his final years on supervised parole at the 60 West nursing facility there. After a 1950 murder conviction and commuted death sentence, he remained under state supervision for decades amid lingering questions about his guilt.
• Connecticut police officers shot, suspect killed after attempted arrest sparks hectic chase (commstrader.com) — Rocky Hill residents are closely connected to a recent police shooting, as town Officer Jon Escobar was one of two officers wounded after a Hartford investigation turned into a late-night chase ending in Newington near the Rocky Hill line. Both officers were treated and released, while a suspect was killed and a state investigation into the use of force is underway.
