About 7:23 am March 16, motorist Peter Masella, 57, of 85 Flat Swamp Road, who was driving a 2004 Pontiac sedan, pulled out of his driveway to make a left turn onto Flat Swamp Road, police said.

In making that maneuver, the Pontiac drove in front of a southbound 1999 Mercury van being driven by Felix Leon, 42, of Danbury, police said. The Mercury hit the Pontiac from behind.

High School Drugs

Police report that at about noon on March 20, a school official noticed what appeared to be some drugs in a student’s vehicle at the Newtown High School parking lot.

Police were called in to investigate and found some marijuana. Police charged the 16-year-old boy with possession of less than four ounces of marijuana.

Following arrest processing, the boy was released on a promise to appear April 13 in Danbury Youthful Offender Court. Because the boy is under age 18, state law shields his identity from public disclosure.

Bad Checks

Police said they charged Walter J. Erickson, 41, of 17 Pond Brook Road on a warrant on March 20 with two counts of issuing a bad check. Police said the case stems from a complaint made in January. After processing, Erickson was released on $250 bail for an April 3 court appearance.
