Fugitive, Children Taken Off Bus By Connecticut State Police On I-84

UNION, CT — A Washington woman was still being held as a fugitive from justice after she was taken off a bus with her three children by state and federal authorities on Interstate 84 last week.

The incident took place on May 4 on the westbound side of Interstate 84 at Exit 74 in Union, according to an arrest report.

State police at the Troop C barracks were contacted by FBI officials, who were tracking a bus from Boston to New York, authorities said. On board was 42-year-old Dina Burns and her three "juvenile" children, according to an arrest report. Burns was wanted in her home state — Washington — for first-degree custodial interference, according to an arrest report.

Connecticut state police stopped the bus and arrested Burns as a fugitive. She was initially held on a $500,000 bond, but that was reduced in Rockville Superior court to $250,000. She remained in custody Monday morning and is facing extradition to Washington State, according to an arrest report.

The FBI took custody of the children at the scene of the traffic stop, according to an arrest report.
