Mostly sunny and less humid. High: 84 Low: 61.

Here are the top three stories in The Haddams-Killingworth today:

1. Proving that women can do anything, Carley Moyher was in graduate school studying speech pathology when she realized she needed to make a change. That’s when she looked into Eversource’s Lineworker Certificate Program with Capital Community College. According to an HK Now article, "last week, Moyher graduated from the 11-week program, one of four women in the class, and is now on her way to becoming a certified lineworker. “I’m looking forward to a job where no two days are really the same and you’re constantly working on different types of jobs, using different skills,” said Moyher in the article.” (HK Now)
2. Reportedly, 48 year-old Jameson Chapman, of Deep River, who has been arrested and charged with second-degree breach of peace, risk of injury to a child and third-degree assault after he allegedly assaulted an 11-year-old on a bike Monday, told state troopers the child “deserved it,” according to a police report of the incident and an article in the Torrington Register Citizen. The article states, "Chapman was on probation for his third operating under the influence arrest when the incident occurred Monday. He was located and taken into custody at a local condo complex, state police said. He was ordered during his arraignment Tuesday to seek behavioral health treatment, court records show. He also cannot have contact with the 11-year-old or the child’s friend who captured videos of the incident." According to state police records, Chapman has a criminal history that includes three operating while under the influence convictions and arrests for violation of a protective order, assault, illegal discharge of a firearm and reckless endangerment, according to state police and court records.
