Southington Cops: Teen Blocks 911 Call, Wrecks Hotel Room

SOUTHINGTON, CT — A teen from Higganum was to appear in court Tuesday to explain accusations that he interfered with an emergency call while busting up a local hotel room, court and law enforcement records indicate.

The arrest of 19-year-old Lucienprimo Polumbo took place on Sept. 28. At 9:39 a.m. that day, officers were dispatched to the Motel 6, 625 Queen Street, for the report of a 911 hang up, according to a police report.

While still on scene, Southington dispatchers received another 911 call from a female, stating that her boyfriend, identified as Polumbo, was not allowing her to leave the hotel room, according to a police report.

Officers then responded to room 419, according to a police report.

Polumbo, was arrested and charged with interfering with an emergency call, disorderly conduct, second-degree unlawful restraint and second-degree criminal, according to a police report.

Police said Polumbo was involved in an argument with the woman and when she attempted to
walk out of the room, Polumbo allegedly blocked the door and pushed the woman onto the bed.

She attempted to leave the room three or four times with the same result, according to a police report.

The argument escalated and when the woman attempted to call 911 from the room phone, Polumbo pushed the "end" button on the receiver before the woman could speak with dispatchers, according to a police report.

Polumbo allegedly blocked the door again and then snapped the woman's eyeglasses, smashed an Xbox on the ground and began throwing things around the room, according to a police report.

Polumbo also punched holes in a bathroom wall, according to a police report.

The woman was eventually able to call 911 and make contact with dispatchers, police said.

Police also found that two outstanding warrants were circulating for Palumbo's arrest.

The first warrant stems from an incident that took place on Sept. 5 in which Polumbo allegedly broke two side view mirrors off of a vehicle that was parked in the Groggy Frogg parking lot, according to a police report.

It was also reported that Polumbo took $6 in change and a two wrenches valued at $60 from inside the vehicle.

The vehicle is owned by an acquaintance of Polumbo’s, police said.

Officers also received a report that after the incident at the Groggy Frogg, Polumbo walked up Center Street and vandalized a second vehicle — a tow truck that was parked on Center Street, according to a police report.

He allegedly tore the passenger side mirror off of the tow truck and tossed it into the bed of another truck, according to a police report.

Polumbo was charged with third-degree criminal mischief, according to a police report.

He has a scheduled court date of Oct. 11 for the warrant arrests, according to a police report.
