Police Log: Cyber Attack Strikes Town, Several Domestics

The following arrest information was supplied by the Wilton Police Department. It does not indicate convictions.

Sunday, February 2, 2011

• Sunny Mital, 30, of Wilton was charged with assault in the third degree. The charge stemmed from a verbal argument that turned into an assault in which the accused reportedly repeatedly struck the victim with his fist, causing injuries to the victim's head, face, right arm and both hands. The victim was transported to Norwalk Hospital for evaluation. Mital, meanwhile, was arrested and later released on a PTA for a Feb. 3 court date.

Monday, Feb. 3

• Dominic Mastro, 41, of Naugatuck was arrested for committing a computer crime in the second degree. In May 2010, the Wilton Town Hall e-mail server was temporarily disabled due to numerous large files that were sent into the server. An investigation determined that the files appeared to have been sent to the server with the specific purpose of disabling it. Internet addresses associated with these incoming files were traced, which led police to Mastro. Mastro was then found to be an employee of a vendor previously contracted by the Town of Wilton to provide IT assistance. That vendor had previously been terminated by the Town, possibly prompting Mastro's actions. Mastro eventually admitted to sending large files into the town's server to cause disruption to the service. He turned himself in to Wilton police, posted a $25,000 bond, and has a Feb. 14 court date.

Tuesday, Feb. 4

• Gretchen Andronaco, 43, of Wilton was charged with disorderly conduct. An investigation stemming from a domestic-related incident led the accused to turn herself in on an active arrest warrant. She was released on $1,000 bond and had a Feb. 7 court date.
• An altercation occurred in the kitchen of the Ten China Bistro at 239 Danbury Road between the business owner and a chef. Eric Xie, 47, of Wilton and Zhong Yi Chi, 33, of Norwalk were both charged with disorderly conduct as a result of the dispute. Both were later released on PTAs for Feb. 15 court dates.
