WILTON, CT — A Wilton man is accused of using his vehicle to block another car and preventing its occupants from leaving during a dispute over an item allegedly taken from an estate sale, according to police.

The arrest stems from a May 30 incident on Linden Tree Road, the Wilton Police Department said.

The driver was charged with second-degree unlawful restraint, coercion, second-degree breach of peace, reckless driving, passing in a no-passing zone and creating a traffic hazard, police said.

Authorities said the individual was released after posting bond and is scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on June 11.
