12 People Charged With Trespassing In Two Incidents
Within about two hours overnight on July 1/July 2, police responded to two incidents in two parts on town which led to charges being filed against a total of 12 young people.
In the first incident, at about 10:45 pm on July 1, police learned about a gathering that was occurring at a vacant house at 11 Connors Road. The structure is located on the short dead-end street that extends southward from Church Hill Road, near the Housatonic Railroadâs rail overpass.
Police said that after a brief investigation at the site, they charged the nine people whom they had found there involved in illegal activity.
Each of the nine were charged with second-degree criminal trespassing and with illegal possession of alcohol (beer) by a minor, police said.
One of the nine people charged is Jacque Rosa, 18, of 14 Fox Run Lane, police said. She was released on a written promise to appear July 15 in Danbury Superior Court, police said.
Of the other eight people charged, six are age 16 and two are age 17, according to police. Because those youths are under age 18, their identities are shielded from disclosure by state law.
Those eight people were released on written promises to appear in court on July 19.
About two hours later at 12:54 am on July 2, security staff from the town-owned Fairfield Hills campus called police to report that there were three youths illegally inside the vacant Norwalk Hall there.
On responding to the campus, police found three youths inside that building that had served as a staff residence at the former state psychiatric hospital.
Two of the youths are age 16 and one is age 17, police said.
Police charged all three with second-degree criminal trespassing. They were released on written promises to appear in court on July 19.
Because the youths are under age 18, their identities are shielded from disclosure by state law.
In cases where underage youths are charged with offenses, the youths typically are released into their parentsâ custody at the police station.
