Violation of a Protective Order and a Car Off the Road

Officers arrested a Bridgeport man on a warrant and responded to a one-car accident on Purdy Hill Road.

Slippery Conditions on Purdy Hill

A 24-year-old Monroe man told police he was okay Friday after losing control of his 2003 Toyota Camry amid slippery conditions on Purdy Hill Road at around 7:40 p.m., then going off a curb on the right side of the road and down an embankment before striking a large tree, according to the report.

EMS volunteers evaluated the driver at the scene and he was transported to St. Vincent's Medical Center for further evaluation, police said.

The driver was issued a written warning for traveling too fast for conditions.

Firefighters also responded to the call.

Violation of a Protective Order

Fairfield police arrested Brian McNulty, 27, of Fairfield Avenue in Bridgeport on Monroe's warrant Sunday and turned him over the Monroe Police Department at around 5:03 p.m.

McNulty allegedly violated a protective order to have no contact with an ex-girlfriend, who lives in Monroe. Police said McNulty called her several times, left 11 voicemails and sent her 11 emails.

He was charged with criminal violation of a protective order, criminal violation of a restraining order and second-degree harassment. Bond was set at $10,000 and McNulty was arraigned at court in Bridgeport on Monday morning, police said.

Thank you everyone for your comments. Carl - will try not to be offended by your "anyone withRead More half a brain" comment. I am dismayed to hear Dawn that you have made this effort and been turned down by the town and police department (it's not uncommon for me to see the police speeding up and down Moose Hill Road too!) Glad to hear, though, that I am not alone in seeing a need for people to get a grip on the road. Slow down. Hang up. Comply with stop signs and stop lights. Be courteous.

I have been tail-gated so many times - everywhere in Monroe - I drive a little over the posted speedRead More limit BUT I respect the people walking (most of the time in the wrong direction) and bike riders (they too ride in the wrong direction. HANG UP THE PHONE - DON'T PIGGY BACK thru a stop sign, and learn the right of way rule. AND STOP SIGNS mean S T O P!!! Robin lane people are good for running stop signs. And Pepper Street is 25 mph - NOT 45 or 50!!! Walkers & runners FACE TRAFFIC - Bike riders RIDE WITH TRAFFIC. AND one more thing - don't block the drive ways if there is a stop light - and someone coming in or out - let them and move on. THANKS for letting me get this off my chest!!!!!

Good luck Laura, My husband and I tried to get some on Purdy Hill Road from Rt.111 to Rt.25. theyRead More said they can't do it. I have asked numerous times to have a police officer sit in Farmview or use our driveway, said it's too dangerous, go figure. Tired of drivers around town having no respect for other drivers and people walking on side of road. It gets to the point that I don't even want to leave my house. Get a clue people slow down, stay off phones, it's not hard.
