Two men were arrested by Plainville police in connection to a fraud investigation involving a now defunct property management firm.

Police said they received complaints starting March 15 from several condominium associations in Plainville and Bristol regarding missing funds from their bank accounts and other suspicious activity involving the now defunct property management company, D & H Management, previously of 55 Whiting St. in Plainville.

With the assistance of fraud investigators from Farmington Bank and Webster Bank, police said Plainville detectives conducted an extensive investigation into the finances of the 26 condominium associations. The investigation found evidence that between January 2014 and March 2015, the owner of D & H Management, 36-year-old Devin Hill, conducted 133 unlawful cash withdrawals, diverted 343 checks, and wrote 105 checks to a fraudulent account that he created, wrongfully appropriating $275, 527.51. It was also discovered that Hill received assistance from two co-conspirators including a former employee of D&H Management, 26-year-old Dereck Cutone.

On Dec. 7, police said Devin Hill was arrested and charged with larceny first degree, conspiracy to larceny first degree, conspiracy to larceny second degree, and identity theft first degree. He was released after posting a $150,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in Bristol Superior Court on Dec. 21.

On Dec. 7, police said, Dereck Cutone was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit larceny second degree. He was released on a $5,000 non-surety bond and is scheduled to appear in Bristol Superior Court on Dec. 21.

On Oct. 18, the citizens of Bristol came together for an event to thank the police department for their dedication to protect and serve the Bristol community. That “Thank You” totaled $3,500 in contributions to the Bristol Police Benevolent Fund, which was presented to Officer Mark McGrane by the Bristol Chamber of Commerce on Monday, Dec. 7.

“Hearts Behind Badges: A Celebration of Bristol’s PD,” honored the police department’s historic service as well as the increased effectiveness of the police force in recent years through adopting a community oriented feet-on-the-street approach that has helped forge personal relationships with commercial and residential neighborhoods, fostering a safer environment for all.

“These guys and gals in uniform lay it on the line every day,” said Craig Yarde, event organizer and sponsor, according to a press release from the chamber. “Now they’re biking through the West End, they’re walking the streets frequently. There’s a new visibility that’s brave and necessary. In a world where police are often targets, these personal bonds set the standard for communal respect and a safer culture.”

Hearts Behind Badges featured local restaurants, dessert shops, live music entertainment and a memorable photo-op where several hundred community members posed with Police, proudly holding a “Hearts Behind Badges” banner. The community rallied behind the effort and donations poured into the Bristol Police Benevolent Fund. Officers commented how grateful they were for the community to recognize the force’s service.

“The positive way in which the police have approached their jobs and built relationships is paying dividends in keeping residents safe and comfortable,” said Yarde in the press release. “It’s evident through the way the community has responded with this gesture of support that they recognize the hard work that goes behind it all. I’m blown away by both sides really, and excited to have been part of this honor.”

The press release offered thank yous to Yarde Metals, The Bristol Chamber of Commerce, The Carpenter Family, Laviero Construction, Roland Dumont Agency, Tracy Driscoll Insurance and Financial Services, D’Amato Construction, True Value Just Ask Rental, Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt, 13th Floor Printing & Graphics, Briarwood Printing, and Dunkin Donuts.

State Representative Frank Nicastro (D-Bristol) was honored by the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association Thursday for his strong support of public safety and law enforcement, reported a press release from the House Democrats.

The award to Nicastro says in part, “In grateful recognition for your efforts to enhance Law Enforcement in the State of Connecticut.”

The press release said Nicastro became the point person in the General Assembly with colleagues in taking strong reaction from a Judiciary Committee that included mandatory cameras with no funding and several other provisions which he advocated successfully to change. Through his efforts, said the release. $14 million was added to the budget to provide for municipal police department costs for any department which chooses to use cameras.

“I thank the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association for this honor,” Nicastro said, according to the press release. “It is critically important that we not only support our law enforcement with words, but that we support policies and programs that provide them with the tools they need to protect us and our families each and every day.”

Nicastro serves on the legislature’s Public Safety and Security Committee, which oversees law enforcement and related matters in the state.

The awards event was held the Police Chiefs Association meeting in Cromwell Thursday.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) _ Connecticut State Police responded to more accidents and issued more tickets for distracted driving and speeding over this year’s New Year’s holiday than during the same period in 2015.

Increased enforcement began Thursday on the state’s roadways and ended at midnight on Sunday.

As of 8 a.m. Sunday, state police say troopers were dispatched to more than 175 total accidents. Trooper Kelly Grant says 20 of the crashes included injuries with one fatal. There were 158 accidents during the holiday period of 2015, including 28 with injuries and no deaths.

Troopers wrote 853 speeding tickets this holiday season along with 27 seatbelt violations. In 2015, 726 speeding tickets were issued and there were 22 seatbelt violations.

Despite the rise in accidents, there were nine less drunken driving arrests in 2016.

Bristol police arrested and charged the suspect connected to the attempted armed robbery that took place at Valero gas station on Pine Street last Thursday.
According to a press release from the Bristol Police Department, 26-year-old Joshua Daniels of Bristol was the lone suspect of the robbery and suffered non-life threatening stab wounds. On Dec. 31, patrol officers responded to the gas station for a disturbance involving people fighting with knives, and an additional call was received reporting the incident as an attempted robbery in the gas station’s parking lot, the release said. Before police arrived, Daniels fled the scene on foot, the release said.
While police were on scene investigating the initial call, officers received a report of a stabbing from a nearby residence, the release said. An ambulance responded to that location where a male was found with several stab wounds, the release said. Both incidents were believed to be related.
Daniels was charged with criminal attempt of first degree robbery and criminal attempt of first degree assault. He was held on a $50,000 bond.

Joshua Daniels pleaded guilty last week to the murder of Joey Klett, a 19-year-old who died at a house party two years ago.
Daniels, of 24 Conlon St., appeared at New Britain Superior Court last Tuesday when he pleaded guilty to one count of murder, choosing the minimum prison sentence of the charge, 25 years. The 28-year-old will be sentenced on Mar. 18.
State prosecutors also offered Daniels another deal, which involved pleading guilty to first degree burglary and first degree manslaughter—an offer that would have sentenced him behind bars for 28 years, said his attorney Gerald Klein.
“He chose to take the lowest sentence that the State of Connecticut allows for a murder charge with his 25 years,” said Klein.
On Jan. 25, 2014, Joey Klett, a former student of Bristol Central High School, was fatally stabbed at a house party on Irving Street after an altercation with Daniels, who had a knife. According to police, Klett was then brought to Bristol Hospital where he died from his stab wounds. A day after the party, Daniels was arrested after a motor vehicle stop in High Point, North Carolina. Daniels was held there until he was extradited to Connecticut.
Daniels, who did not know Klett before the party, felt he was acting in self-defense at the night of the house party, said Klein.
Klett, who was in the process of joining the military before he passed away, was remembered as a student who could be friends with anyone of any grade and social group at Bristol Central, where he joined the theater program as an independent study.
In 2013, Klett received the Technical Theater Award for his help in building sets for productions.

A Bristol police officer was arrested and charged last weekend after an alleged workplace threat.
According to a press release from the Bristol Police Department, an arrest warrant was issued for officer Adam Quinn for the charge of second degree breach of peace. His police authority is suspended until further notice, the release said.
There were no injuries related to the threat, and since the incident involved Bristol Police Department employees, there was no risk to the general public, the release said.
Quinn was processed at the Bristol Police Department and was released on a non-surety bond with a court date of Monday, Jan. 25.

Bristol police have found that the woman involved in a serious car crash that killed a 68-year-old man last October was driving above the speed limit and failed to drive left of a parked vehicle.
According to a press release from the Bristol Police Department, an investigation determined that 24-year-old Kasiana Goodman of Waterbury caused the death of Scott Duell as a result of the negligent operation of her vehicle. On Oct. 8, Goodman struck the rear of a septic tank truck that was parked in the area of 477 Waterbury Road, the release said. The next day, Duell died from injuries he sustained in the crash, the release said.
Goodman was arrested yesterday and charged with negligent homicide with a motor vehicle, traveling at an unreasonable speed and failure to drive left of a parked vehicle. She was released on a $10,000 non-surety bond and will appear in Bristol Superior Court 17 on Feb. 1.
