West Hartford 'Incident' Ends With No Injuries/Arrests: WHPD

WEST HARTFORD, CT — A nearly day-long incident in West Hartford that closed a local road for much of Wednesday ended without injury and without any charges.

The West Hartford Police Department said at 7:28 p.m. Wednesday that an "incident" on Crocker Avenue that day "has been safely resolved" and pedestrian/motorist traffic returned to normal.

WHPD officials didn't disclose much specific information about what happened, but the "incident" arose after officers were asked to conduct a welfare check of a person inside a residence on that street.

In a separate statement released earlier Wednesday, police said they were called to an address on Crocker Avenue at about 9:28 a.m.

Police said they were asked to conduct a non-criminal welfare assessment of a resident.

"Based on the nature of the complaint, as well as information gathered during the initial investigation, WHPD personnel are staging outside of the residence," wrote the WHPD early Wednesday afternoon.

That resulted in Crocker Road being closed between Trout Brook Drive and South Quaker Lane for much of the day Wednesday, with motorists detoured around the area.

Police said the investigation is ongoing.

"This remains an active investigation, and no criminal charges have been filed at this time," wrote the WHPD in a final update Wednesday night.
"No one involved sustained any injuries, and there was no threat to the public."

Anyone with information on this incident can contact the West Hartford Police Department at 860-523-5203, or at 911 in the event of an emergency. Those who wish to remain anonymous can utilize the WHPD Tip Line/email at 860-570-8969 / whpdtips@westhartfordct.gov.
