Wilton Police Arrest Westport Man for DUI, Reckless Driving

WILTON, CT -- Police were called to the site of a collision where one driver had left the scene.

On August 11, officers responded to a call about a collision in the Wilton Library parking lot. When they arrived on the scene, the victim told police he had been side-swiped by a red Jeep Wrangler traveling the wrong way in the lot. The driver of the Jeep, Connor Cullen, 25, of 244 Wilton Road in Westport, gave the victim his cell phone number before he left the scene.

Officers called Cullen and asked him to return to the site of the collision. When he did, the investigating officer observed signs of intoxication in Cullen and conducted Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. Cullen failed the tests, and was placed under arrest for DUI.

Cullen was transported to Wilton PD headquarters where he was processed and tested for drugs and alcohol -- police are still awaiting the results. He was charged with DUI, reckless driving and evading responsibility. He is scheduled to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on August 20.
