Wilton Police Investigate DUI Crashes And Larceny Warrants In Separate Incidents

WILTON, CT — Wilton police handled three separate criminal cases last week involving two impaired driving incidents and two outstanding warrants connected to property crimes.

On June 7, officers responded to a three-car collision on Danbury Road just north of Old Mill Road. Police determined that a northbound Maserati Levante SUV crossed the double yellow line and struck two vehicles traveling south. All occupants of the southbound vehicles were taken to area hospitals for evaluation.

The driver of the Maserati, identified as Brian Christopher Large, 46, of Southport, appeared to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Large did not successfully perform the standardized field sobriety tests and refused chemical testing. He was charged with operating under the influence and failure to keep right of centerline. Large was released on a $500 bond and is scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on June 18.

Earlier that same day, at approximately 1:31 a.m., police stopped a Chevrolet Tahoe on Danbury Road near Olmstead Hill Road for speeding. The driver, identified as Ryan Jackson, 21, of Wilton, was suspected to be under the influence, according to the police report. Jackson failed the standardized field sobriety tests and submitted to chemical testing, which showed blood alcohol levels of 0.1690 and 0.1476.

Jackson was charged with DUI and speeding. In Connecticut, the legal blood alcohol content limit for driving is 0.08 percent for those 21 and older. He was released after posting a portion of his $300 bond and is set to appear in court on June 17.

On June 5, Wilton officers served two active warrants on Jamar Sims, 22, of New Haven, who was already incarcerated for a separate matter. He was transported to Stamford Superior Court by judicial marshals, where he was processed and returned to custody.

Sims was charged in two separate cases. The first involved fourth-degree larceny and misuse of a marker plate, with bond set at $75,000. The second case included charges of fifth-degree larceny and another count of misuse of a marker plate, also carrying a $75,000 bond.
