Teen With Four Warrants Captured By East Lyme Police

EAST LYME, CT—Thursday afternoon, an astute off-duty East Lyme Police officer saw a young man at the McDonald's at Flanders Four Corners and recognized him knowing the 18-year-old had four active warrants, all for failing to appear in court.

Other East Lyme officers arrived and when they asked the teen his name, he claimed to be someone else.

As police were trying to confirm his identify, he took off running through the fast food parking lot, across four lanes of traffic on busy Boston Post Road and into the swampy woods behind Latimer Brook Commons. But an East Lyme officer was right behind him and took him into custody.

Wesley M. Lacombe, of 1109 Horse Hill Road in Westbrook, was charged with criminal impersonation, resisting arrest, three counts of failure to appear in court, and failing to appear on an infraction.

Lacomb was held on a total of $250,000 cash bond. He's due in appear in New London Superior Court today, Friday July 26.
