1. Driver Went 1.5 Miles On 3 Tires After Wilton Crashes: Police (patch.com) — Wilton residents may have noticed police activity after a 43-year-old local woman allegedly struck two vehicles and a guardrail on School Road near the Comstock Community Center, then continued driving for about 1.5 miles on three tires. Police say she was later stopped at Ridgefield and Drum Hill roads and arrested on DUI and related charges, with a court appearance scheduled in Stamford.
2. Heavy Police Presence In Wilton Ends With Teen Found In Woods (patch.com) — Wilton neighbors woke up to a heavy police presence Tuesday morning as local officers, joined by state police and nearby departments, searched for a 17-year-old from New York seen moving through yards. The teen, who had left a behavioral health hospital in Katonah, was found hiding in woods off Middlebrook Farm Road and taken to a hospital, with police stressing there is no ongoing threat to the community.
3. Wilton Real Estate: 3 Homes Sell for $3.625M (goodmorningwilton.com) — Recent Wilton real estate activity saw just three properties change hands between Sept. 4 and 10, totaling $3.625 million in sales. If you're tracking neighborhood values, the transfers on Pine Ridge Road, Blue Ridge Road, and Glen View offer a snapshot of current price points and buyer interest in town.
4. Wilton P&Z Reviews Housing Projects, Major Hearing (goodmorningwilton.com) — Wilton's Planning and Zoning Commission is weighing three major development proposals, including townhouses in Wilton Center, a mixed-use overhaul at 33 Danbury Road, and a large senior living project on Belden Hill Road.
