Teen Accused Of Injuring Baby

When Tanya Pirtel took her month-old son, Blake, to the pediatrician May 8 to have bruising around his eye checked, the physician told her the bruising was the least of her baby's problems and called 911 for an ambulance. The pediatrician, Dr. Anne Marie Villa, also contacted police in Enfield, where her office is located, to report that she had just treated a baby that she thought had been abused, state police said. The infant was rushed to Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford, where doctors determined the baby had sustained multiple skull fractures and contusions. Pirtel, 19, on Wednedsday said doctors had told her that the baby suffered brain damage.

State Court Will Hear Vernon Citizens' Appeal

- The state Appellate Court has agreed to hear an appeal brought by a group of citizens opposed to the agreement between the town planning and zoning commission and the developers who want to build a Home Depot on former baseball fields off I-84's Exit 67.

The citizens, who formed Smart Growth for Vernon and fought the Home Depot proposal, appealed the agreement with the assistance of their lawyer, Derek V. Oatis of Manchester.

The planning and zoning commission had two lawsuits pending against it by the developers when a commission subcommittee met with the developers and their lawyers to work out an agreement. That agreement, which was not subject to the public scrutiny that accompanies zoning applications, was approved by the commission 4-3. The commission and the developers then went to court Feb. 14 to have the agreement approved by Rockville Superior Court Judge Samuel J. Sferrazza.

Bolton Man Told To Stay Away From Girl

A Bolton man was ordered Wednesday to have no contact with the 14-year-old girl he is accused of sexually assaulting.

Charles Leopizzo, 57, of 12 Notch Road Ext., was charged June 4 with attempted second-degree assault, two counts of fourth-degree sexual assault and two counts of impairing the morals of a child. He was arraigned Wednesday in Superior Court in Rockville.

According to the warrant for his arrest, Leopizzo cut open a piece of wrapped candy the 14-year-old liked and slipped in one of his wife's sleeping pills. The child noticed that the candy had been tampered with and poured out what she described as powder. Then she ate a portion of the candy before throwing away the rest.

Arrests In Vernon After Electronic Speed Sign Destroyed

- Armed with tin snips and fortified by an evening of drinking, a Vernon man led an assault on an electronic speed sign mounted to a utility pole near his South Street home early Sunday.

After noticing the sign missing, police launched a search and soon found its charred remains in a fire pit behind the home of Ben Gardiner.

Gardiner, 22, of 291 South St., admitted, police said, to taking out his anger on the sign after it flashed his speed as he arrived home about 1 a.m. Sunday.

Gardiner, joined by two friends, tried to cut the metal bands holding it to the pole with tin snips but had trouble, police said. Gardiner told officers that his friend, James R. Grimord Jr., took over and cut it down, police said.

New Drug Charges Added To Old

- When Charles D. Chaloult went to prison for five months in December 2006 for selling narcotics, he had another nine years and seven months hanging over his head as a suspended sentence.

Rockville Superior Court Judge Terence A. Sullivan was not satisfied that the sentence was tough enough, but agreed to the plea bargain reached by the prosecutor and Chaloult's defense lawyer. He did, however, make clear to Chaloult that he was receiving a significant break and warned there would be zero tolerance for any violations while he was on probation.
