NEW YORK (AP) _ A Connecticut woman’s claims that media outlets libeled her by refusing to delete stories about her arrest after charges were dismissed were rejected by a federal appeals court Wednesday.

The ruling by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan pertained to the August 2010 arrest of Lorraine Martin. The charges were dismissed five months later and the arrest was deemed to have never taken place according to the state’s Erasure Statute.

In an opinion written by Judge Richard Wesley, the appeals court said a lower-court judge was correct to dismiss the lawsuit, which claimed libel, negligent infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy. Local newspaper reports online quoted police as saying Martin was arrested after officers confiscated 12 grams of marijuana from her Greenwich, Connecticut, home.

The ruling by the three-judge panel acknowledged that the consequences of a criminal arrest are wide-ranging and long-lasting, even when someone is later exonerated or the charges are dismissed. But the judges said Martin misunderstood the effect of the Erasure Statute when she concluded that it made it factually false to say she was arrested.

The appeals court said the law bars the government from relying on police, court or prosecution records in a later trial and prevents judges from citing a deleted arrest to enhance a sentence for a later offense.

“The statute creates legal fictions, but it does not and cannot undo historical facts or convert once-true facts into falsehoods,” Wesley wrote. “Here, the uncontroverted fact is that Martin was arrested on Aug. 20, 2010, and that the reports of her arrest were true at the time they were published. Neither the Erasure Statute nor any amount of wishing can undo that historical truth.”

The 2nd Circuit said reasonable readers understand that some people who are arrested are guilty and others are not and that charges against some individuals are eventually dropped.

Martin’s attorney, Ryan O’Neill, said they are disappointed and are considering an appeal to the Supreme Court.

O’Neill said it should be left to a jury to decide the case.

“These stories, because of the way the Internet operates, are perpetually fresh and available on the newsstands,” he said. “There’s a reason these things are kept out there: because it attracts a lot of readers, notwithstanding that it’s old news.”

He said other news publications had in the past agreed to delete old stories or update them when circumstances change.

Martin had sued the Hearst Corp., Southern Connecticut Newspapers Inc. and Main Street Connect LLC over stories that appeared on the Internet, including accounts in the Connecticut Post, the Stamford Advocate, Greenwich Time and News 12 Interactive.

Lawyers for the media companies did not immediately return messages for comment.

Bristol police have identified a man shot in the West End area early Friday morning.

According to a news release, officers were dispatched after receiving reports of a 33-year-old male who was shot during an alteration in the street at the corner of Divinity St. and Landry St. The victim, Emanuel “Manny” Maldonado, a Bristol resident, then sought assistance at the nearby West End Café, where employees called 911, the release said.

The man had multiple gunshots wounds and was transported to the hospital, where he is reported to be in stable condition, according to the release. The suspect has not yet been identified.

Anyone with information pertaining to this shooting is asked to call the Bristol Police Department Criminal Investigations Division at (860) 314-4561

Bristol police arrested and charged a man who tried breaking into Ross’s Auto Parts on Terryville Road Sunday.

With the assistance from the Plymouth Police Department, officers were alerted of an active burglar alarm at Ross’s Auto Parts where they secured the perimeter of the property, according to a press release. The canine officer and Police Canine Murphy entered the property and found the suspect, 54-year-old Juan Gonzalez, running from the building, police said in the release. The canine then found Gonzalez hiding under a bus at First Student Bus Co., according to the release.

The suspect, who had minor wounds in his lower left leg, was then transported to the Bristol Police Headquarters where he was treated for his injuries by Bristol EMS, the release said.

It appeared that Gonzalez entered Ross’s Auto Parts by crawling under the perimeter of the chain link fence, police said in the release. Once inside the property, Gonzalez used a three-foot flat metal to open the building’s doors. While trying to open the doors, officers and Canine Murphy confronted him, according to the release.

Gonzalez was arrested and charged with third degree criminal trespass, possession of burglary tools, criminal attempt to commit third degree burglary, second degree criminal mischief, and interfering with an officer. He was held on a $25,000 bond.

Bristol police are trying to find a suspect connected to a robbery that took place at the Bristol Walmart Neighborhood Market on Wednesday.

According to the Patrol Division’s investigation, a man between the ages of 40 and 50 entered the store alone and approached the clerk, and displayed a handgun while demanding money, police said in a press release. He left the scene with an undetermined amount of cash, according to the release.

The suspect is described as a white man with a skinny build and grey facial hair wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans, the release said.

A Bristol Police K-9 Unit responded to the scene, but did not find the suspect, according to the release. Detectives from the Criminal Investigation Division also responded to investigate, the release said.

Anyone with information relating to this incident is asked to call the Bristol Police Department at (860) 584-3011.

After several months of investigation, police have identified, arrested and charged the suspect connected to a shooting that took place on Davis Drive last May.

According to a press release from the Bristol Police Department, officers arrested 20-year-old Jahquan Tutein of Bristol on Thursday. He was charged with first degree assault, criminal possession of a pistol, carrying a pistol without a permit, first degree reckless endangerment, and third degree criminal mischief, the release said. Tutein was processed and held on a $250,000 court set bond, according to the release.

Last May, Bristol police were dispatched to Bristol Hospital to investigate a complaint about a male undergoing treatment for a gunshot wound to his arm, police said in the release. The victim, 23-year-old Kenneth Slaughter of Meriden, suffered a gunshot wound to his left arm, according to the release.
