Update: Enfield Man Charged After Wreaking Havoc in West Hartford

An Enfield man was arrested Tuesday morning after wreaking havoc in West Hartford while driving his company’s truck under the influence.

Adam Puzon, 40, of Enfield, was driving a truck from Advanced Scaffold Services of West Hartford, when he struck a building and other objects. Police said he had permission to use the truck.

Early this morning, the West Hartford Police Department was alerted by the Hartford Police to be on the lookout for a truck involved in a hit-and-run, according to a police press release.

Police said the suspect vehicle had struck a fire hydrant and two utility poles on New Park Avenue. At about 6 a.m., West Hartford police received a call from a resident of 755 Farmington Avenue that a truck was causing extensive damage to the building there.

An AMR paramedic saw the suspect truck being driven south on Arnoldale Road and alerted West Hartford officers.

West Hartford officers spotted the truck being driven west on Park Road. Police said the truck had obvious extensive damage to the front end and the right front tire was missing.

Officers followed the truck west on Park Road and north on Trout Brook Drive until it pulled into the north driveway of the Kingswood-Oxford school.

The truck left a wide trail of fluid and left its right front tire on Farmington Avenue. The front end of the truck, a 2008 Hino flatbed, was destroyed.
