Probation Violations

Newtown police report that Waterbury police arrested Jason Hurley, 32, of Camden, Maine, on the night of November 23, charging Hurley with two counts of violation of probation, in view of arrest warrants that Newtown police had against Hurley.

The probation violation charges stem from two arrests that Newtown police made against Hurley in 1995, Newtown police said.

 Newtown police held Hurley on $100,00 bail for a November 24 appearance in Danbury Superior Court.

The driver of that vehicle, Edward C. Tella, 21, of Watertown failed field sobriety testing and was charged with driving under the influence and with making a restricted turn, police said.

After posting $50 bail, police released Tella for a December 9 appearance in Danbury Superior Court.
