SOUTHINGTON, CT — Southington police are looking for a local resident wanted on two domestic violence-related warrants.

On Monday, Southington police officers were conducting a surveillance operation in the area of Gwen Road in an attempt to locate 25-year-old Southington resident Jordan Williamson, who was wanted for two separate weekend incidents. Both warrants were related to recent domestic disputes, police said.

At about 12:15 p.m., officers saw Williamson enter a vehicle. According to a report, they attempted to stop the vehicle on Gwen Road and, after Williamson refused to pull over, stop sticks were deployed to disable the tires.
