Trumbull Man Pleads Guilty In Bridgeport/Stratford Public Housing Embezzlement Conspiracy: Feds (patch.com) — Trumbull residents are learning that a 54-year-old man from town has pleaded guilty in a federal embezzlement conspiracy tied to the Success Village Apartments in Bridgeport and Stratford.

4. What we know about the masked white supremacist demonstration in Danbury (ctinsider.com) — A masked white supremacist group staged a nighttime demonstration outside Danbury police headquarters, shouting racist slogans and giving Nazi salutes, prompting strong condemnation from city officials and civil rights leaders.
