BRIDGEPORT, CT — A Stratford teen on Monday pleaded not guilty in connection with a fire at Silver Sands State Park in Milford, according to the Connecticut Post. Vincent Keller and Christopher Sakowicz, both 18, each face several charges for the Milford fire, which occurred in March and damaged construction trailers at the park, the Post reported. Keller entered his plea Monday, while Sakowicz pleaded not guilty Friday, according to the Post. Both teens requested a jury trial.
