WILTON, Conn. -- A Wilton man tried to bribe the town's Director of Environmental Affairs to remove a bond on his home, according to Wilton Police, who charged him with bribery.
Ioannis Papakosmas, 42, of 103 Twin Oak Lane, was arrested on Feb. 28 and released after posting a $1,000 bond. His next scheduled court date is on Friday.
Police said the town's Inland Wetland Commission is holding a corrective action wetland permit on Papakosmas' property.
