OPERATE UNREGISTERED VEHICLE, IMPROPER USE MARKER PLATE, INSURANCE COVERAGE FAILS MINIMUM, TRAVELING UNREASONABLY FAST — At 11:24 p.m., Carl B. Bolton, 26, of Ridgefield Drive was seen by an officer speeding on Church Street near Wesleyan University, according to the report, 40 miles per hour in a 25 mile per hour school zone.

Police say they have had two prior instances with Bolton and unregistered and uninsured cars. A tow truck operator was unable to tow the car away, the report says, because it's so low to the ground.

Duggan, 18, of Chelsea Court driving a Ford Countour on Grand Street and when approached, he tried to high something green in his lap, according to the report, which turned out to be a handful of crumpled $1 bills. The front passenger, Brian R. Barbour, 21, of Grand Street, police say, was slowly trying to hide a plastic bag between his seat and the passenger door and a search revealed 100 tiny ziplock bags he said were for his jewelry. Police smelled marijuana inside the car, the report says, and a search turned up a marijuana cigarette, a Frisbee with burnt and unburnt marijuana residue, a backpack with two bags of marijuana totaling 2.295 ounces, another baggie of marijuana weighing 1.14 ounces, digital scale, two grinders and a glass smoking pipe. The report says the men admitted to buying the marijuana for $700 just prior to police stopping them. Both were charged with the above.

The victim said Anderson walked to the refrigerator and kicked the door shut with his shoe, made a noise like he was "coughing up phlegm" to spit at her, police say, in front of 15 patients and seven other staff members. Anderson denied all the accusations, the report indicates, and was told if he visited his father there again he was to "remain to himself."
