DUI, Evading Capture, Top Wilton Police Arrest Log Sept. 30 - Oct. 6

WILTON, CT — An armed carjacking in Bridgeport that spilled over into Wilton was at the top of the blotter for Wilton police last week.

On Oct. 3 at around 9:30 in the morning, police stopped a 2012 Mazda 3 in the driveway of a Sturges Ridge Road residence after seeing it run a stop sign, with no front license plate. A check of the rear plate showed that it belonged to a 2006 Nissan Altima.

As the officer made contact with the driver, police say the motorist, Dominique Reid, age 26, accelerated forward, struck their cruiser twice, failed to obey their commands to stop, and speeded away.

According to their report, police later learned that both the car and the plate were stolen during an armed carjacking with a firearm earlier in the day in Bridgeport. Law enforcement agents from several surrounding agencies located, pursued, and subsequently stopped the Mazda, at which time the passenger was apprehended and taken into custody. Reid was later taken into custody by the Fairfield Police Department, and is facing multiple criminal and motor vehicle charges from other Connecticut agencies.

In Wilton, Reid is facing charges of running a stop sign, failure to display plates, misuse of plates, evading responsibility, failure to obey a police officer, and reckless driving. He was scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on Oct. 17.

On Oct. 1 at around 3:30 in the morning, Wilton officers pulled over a 2018 Subaru Impreza they say was speeding northbound on Danbury Road.

Following their investigation, police charged the driver, Rron Gerguri, 21, of Highridge Road in Stamford, with speeding, and driving a stolen car without a license. Gerguri was issued a $25,000 bond and scheduled to appear at Stamford Superior Court on Oct. 11.

Wilton police received a 911 call about a motorist driving southbound into oncoming traffic on Danbury Road in the area of Cannon Road at 2:30 the morning of Oct. 4. Responding officers confirmed the report, and pulled over Antonio Jose Vargas, 28, of West End Road in Norwalk.

Police charged Vargas with DUI, failure to keep right, and driving without a license. Vargas was released after paying 7 percent of a $300 bond, and scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on Oct. 15.

Shortly before 3 a.m. on Oct. 6, Wilton officers stopped a Honda Acura ILX they say was speeding northbound on Danbury Road. The driver, Christopher Capocci, 29, of Bear Mountain Road in Ridgefield, admitted to drinking alcohol prior to driving, and failed to perform the standardized field sobriety tests to standard, according to police.

Capocci was charged with DUI and speeding, and submitted to chemical testing. The results of the testing indicated blood alcohol levels of 0.1148 and 0.1119 consecutively. In Connecticut, the legal blood alcohol content limit for driving is 0.08 percent for those 21 and older. Capocci was released after posting 7 percent of his $300 bond and is scheduled to appear at the Stamford Superior Court on Oct. 18.
