DISORDERLY CONDUCT, RISK OF INJURY — On March 24 at 5:39 p.m., Sebastiano Rizzo, 58, of Milbrook Road was fighting with his 15-year-old son; when police arrived, he was sitting in his neighbor’s garage extremely intoxicated with slurred speech and unable to complete his thoughts or form complete sentences. He told officers the blood near his eye was from his son attacking him, the report says. The son told officers he found his father in the den passed out with all the burners lit on the stove; the son screamed for him to awake and Milbrook lunged at his son. The report says he tried to grab the boy by his ankles and throw him over the coffee table. The wife and daughter confirmed the story. The wife told officers Rizzo has a drinking problem and takes medication and when he drinks he becomes violent. He was sent to Middlesex Hospital for evaluation, the report says.

RISK OF INJURY — On March 24 at 5:52 a.m., police received a call from the 19-year-old ex-boyfriend of Lauren Murray, 19, of Farm Hill Road, who said he received a call from Murray at 2:10 a.m. asking for him to spend "quality time" with her. He did, police say, and visited from 2:40 to 4 a.m. An hour later, he got a call from Murray, who was emotional, asking the victim to spend the rest of the night with her, the report says. He said he had to go to work; she kept calling his cell phone, police say. At 5:40 a.m., the victim said she left a disturbing message on his cell, “this is the last warning! Your son is home alone and it is your job now to go take care of him!” The victim told police he arrived at the house to find their 2-month-old son alone, sleeping in his cradle. Police say Murray admitted to leaving the son alone for 20 minutes, and she left hoping the victim would return. Police called DCF.

SECOND-DEGREE FAILURE TO APPEAR — On March 23 at 8 p.m., David Krywinski, 30, of Town Brooke Drive was stopped while driving on Long Lane and found with an outstanding warrant from Oct. 28.

INSURANCE COVERAGE FAILS MINIMUM, OPERATION MOTOR VEHICLE WHEN REGISTRATION AND LICENSE ARE SUSPENDED, IMPROPER USE MARKER PLATE — On March 20 at 8:54 a.m., Noel Agosto-Lopez, 36, of Longworth Avenue was driving a Chevrolet Cavalier on Westfield Street and turned onto Newfield Street with a left brake light that was partially out, police say. The license plate didn’t belong on the car and police say Agosto-Lopez said it belonged to a friend and offered a Puerto Rican drivers license. A records check of his name and date of birth revealed he has an outstanding warrant from Arizona and is a “deported criminal alien,” the report says, and should be returned to Arizona to complete his sentence. However, police say, after Arizona Corrections emailed a photograph of their suspect, it was not Agosto-Lopez but a suspect who had been using his name and date of birth. 

FAILURE TO OBEY CONTROL SIGNAL, OPERATION MOTOR VEHICLE WHEN REGISTRATION IS SUSPENDED, IMPROPER USE MARKER PLATE — On March 15 at 7:33 p.m., Tyrone M. Lumpkin, 42, of Walnut Street was driving on Union Street and went through a red light.

OPERATION MOTOR VEHICLE WHEN REGISTRATION IS SUSPENDED, FAILURE TO HAVE TAIL LAMPS — On March 11, Justin B. Ryals, 27, of Barret Street, New Britain, was driving on Main Street with a suspended license and unlit license plate. Police say he had an extensive criminal record.
