Alleged One-Man Crime Spree in West Hartford Leads to Arrest
James Walker, 38, allegedly attempted to steal a car at gunpoint and attempted to break into several homes, according to police.

I grew up in Stamford and spent many hours on its baseball fields, attempting to model my swing after Don Mattingly's.
Aside from stints in New York state for college and law school, I have lived in Connecticut my whole life. I moved to the Greater Hartford area in 1999 to practice law. I embarked in my career in journalism about 10 years ago working as a reporter for Imprint, a now-defunct chain of weekly newspapers that covered central Connecticut.
I'm still waiting for the Yankees to call and let me know that I will be the starting shortstop for that night's game. Until that happens, however, I remain committed to delivering the news, sports and features to South Windsor Patch readers, while also having a little fun at the same time.
I look forward to being your local editor and encourage your input.
Beliefs
At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. This disclosure is not a license to inject beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. The intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that our beliefs are on the record will cause us to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know.
Politics
I am an independent.
Religion
Yes.
Serving South Windsor
I look forward to learning more about the community that I will be covering and encourage people to engage in the site and to contact me at any time at ted.glanzer@patch.com.
