Northford man arrested for operating dirt bike with infant for 2nd time
According to the North Branford Police Department, officers received a report of a man allegedly operating a dirt bike on a roadway while holding an 11-month-old child. Police located the individual, identified as 35-year-old Timothy Sherrick.

Sherrick was charged with risk of injury to a minor and later released.
On April 2, Sherrick was arrested by North Branford police following several 911 calls reporting a man allegedly operating dirt bike with a 9-month-old child on the grounds of Northford Park.
During the April incident, Sherrick allegedly fled from officers through the park, while still holding the child, and into a wooded area owned by the Regional Water Authority after refusing to comply.
Sherrick was subsequently arrested for the April incident and charged with risk of injury to a minor, reckless endangerment, criminal trespass and interfering with an officer.
Sherrick has appeared in court for the April incident. In both cases, the dirt bikes were seized and are being held pending the outcome of the court proceedings.

Maine police officer arrested by ICE agrees to voluntarily leave the country
Immigration Police Officer Arrest OLD ORCHARD BEACH, Maine (AP) — A Maine police officer arrested by immigration authorities has agreed to voluntarily leave the country, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Monday. ICE arrested Old Orchard Beach Police Department reserve Officer Jon Luke Evans, of Jamaica, on July 25, as part of the agency's effort to step up immigration enforcement. Officials with the town and police department have said federal authorities previously told them Evans was legally authorized to work in the U.S. An ICE representative reached by telephone told The Associated Press on Monday that a judge has granted voluntary departure for Evans and that he could leave as soon as that day. The representative did not provide other details about Evans' case. Evans' arrest touched off a dispute between Old Orchard Beach officials and ICE. Police Chief Elise Chard has said the department was notified by federal officials that Evans was legally permitted to work in the country, and that the town submitted information via the Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify program prior to Evans' employment. Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin then accused the town of 'reckless reliance' on the department's E-Verify program. E-Verify is an online system that allows employers to check if potential employees can work legally in the U.S. Officials with Old Orchard Beach did not immediately respond to a request for comment. ICE's detainee lookup website said Monday that Evans was being held at the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island. However, a representative for Wyatt said Evans had been transferred to an ICE facility in Burlington, Massachusetts. ICE officials did not respond to requests for comment on the discrepancy. It was unclear if Evans was represented by an attorney, and a message left for him at the detention facility was not returned. ICE officials said in July that Evans overstayed his visa and unlawfully attempted to purchase a firearm. WMTW-TV reported Monday that Evans' agreement to a voluntary departure means he will be allowed to leave the U.S. at his own expense to avoid being deported.

2 officers killed and a third is wounded in a Utah shooting, authorities say
Crime Gun violenceFacebookTweetLink Follow Two police officers responding to a domestic disturbance call were shot and killed in Utah and a man was taken into custody after bystanders persuaded him to drop the gun, authorities said Monday. A sheriff's deputy and a police dog were shot and wounded in their car as they arrived to help at a neighborhood in Tremonton on Sunday night. The deputy was released from the hospital Monday and the dog was hospitalized in fair condition, police said. 'These officers are definitely heroes,' Police Chief Cade Reyes in neighboring Brigham City said at a news conference Monday morning. Police received multiple 911 hang-up calls from a home in the city. A single officer from the Tremonton-Garland Police Department arrived first and was speaking to someone at the home when the man came out with a gun, police said in a news release. Reyes said he believed the man lived at the house. 'The male opened fire on the officer, striking and killing the officer,' the news release said. A second officer from the department who responded 'was immediately fired upon by the same male suspect' and was killed, it said. After the officers were shot, bystanders persuaded the man to put down his weapon, police said. SWAT teams responded to clear the home and verify that there was no further threat, police said. 'Upon arrival, they immediately began taking fire,' Police Detective Crystal Beck of neighboring Brigham City told reporters earlier. 'They requested additional units. And then stopped answering their radio.' The man was arrested on charges of aggravated murder, police said in the news release. The names of the officers and the suspect have not been released. Tremonton, which has about 10,000 people, is in northern Utah about 75 miles (121 kilometers) north of Salt Lake City.
