NEW CANAAN, Conn. A Vermont man was arrested Sunday on drunken-driving charges after a concerned citizen contacted police.
Nicholas F. Manna, 53, of Burlington, Vt., was charged with driving under the influence after police responded to the Mobil gas station on South Avenue at about 8:30 p.m. Sunday. Police said a passerby had reported two men who appeared to be very intoxicated getting into a car. When police arrived, they found Manna in the drivers seat with the keys in the cars ignition but the engine off. The passenger, Paul V. Novakovic, 44, of North Street, Seymour, was charged with creating a public disturbance after police said he became agitated and loud. Bond and court date information were not available.

Kenneth L. Hill, 45, of Riverview Drive, Stamford, was arrested July 7 on a warrant for second-degree failure to appear. Police said Hill failed to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on Jan. 10 after being arrested March 17, 2010, for third-degree criminal mischief and a previous second-degree failure to appear charge.
The earlier failure to appear charge stemmed from an Oct. 22, 2009, arrest on a charge of creating a public disturbance. Police said Hill was issued the public disturbance infraction for being intoxicated at the Dunkin Donuts on Elm Street. The March 2010 arrest came after he was accused of being intoxicated and urinating on a computer at the New Canaan Library. Hill was also arrested on Aug. 10, 2010, on two warrants for failing to appear and not appearing on Aug. 23, 2010.
Hill was released on $2,500 bond and ordered to appear at Norwalk Court on July 19.
