Police received a report in Middlesex County of a vehicle that looked like a police vehicle driving erratically in the area of Durham Road in Durham at about 8:10 a.m. on Friday, July 8, according to Connecticut State Police.

The caller said that the vehicle was a gray Ford SUV that had reportedly displayed flashing red and blue lights, police said.

Police discovered that the SUV was a privately-owned vehicle registered to an address in Middletown, police reported.

  • Failure to obey stop sign

He was released on $10,000 non-surety bond and is set to appear in court on Friday, July 22, police said.
