Southington Man Arrested for 4th Time in 2 Weeks for Domestics

SOUTHINGTON, CT – A Southington man was charged over the weekend for stalking someone at a local gas station, his fourth arrest since the New Year began involving a person with a protective order against him.

The latest incident was on Saturday, police said. At 3:26 p.m. David Forgione, 59 of the Plantsville section of Southington, was taken into custody and charged with violating a protective order, first-degree stalking,

and second-degree breach of peace, police said.

Forgione was held on a $325,000 bond and was to appear in court Tuesday, police said.

According to a police report, the victim reported seeing Forgione parked near some other gas pumps while pumping gas.

The victim attempted to leave the area as Forgione approached in his vehicle beeping the horn, according to a police report.

He then allegedly followed the victim on several streets over 3.5 miles and the victim eventually dialed 911, according to a police report. He apparently did an about-face when he saw the victim pick up the phone, according to a report.

He appears to be sticking out his tongue at the police booking camera in his arrest mug shot.

Fogione was arrested for incidents involving the same person on Jan 2, Jan. 8 and Jan. 10, according to police records. The Jan. 10 incident involved Forgione blocking a driveway, police said.
