'Hoarders usually have paths,' Glastonbury Police Chief Marshall Porter told CT Insider. 'But this was like just piled floor to almost ceiling. You literally would have had to climb over stuff.' In the video recorded July 2024, police and firefighters initially were unable to enter the house due to the height of the trash. They eventually removed the front door and saw debris piled high above the top of the door frame. A police officer's body-worn camera showed furniture, plastic bottles and cans piled several metres high inside the home.

'It's literally filled with used toilet paper and feces,' the officer remarked in the video. 'It's just not safe.' The home also had an awful odour as one officer is heard saying the smell was so bad 'you can taste the foulness in your mouth.' RECOMMENDED VIDEO The only living thing found during the first search was a cat as bird cages were found empty. During a second search, dead birds were located among the debris. The home was searched several times by police, including the use of a cadaver dog and a drone. Eventually, the state's environmental agency and a biohazard waste collection company were called in to clear out the mess. Notarangelo's remains were found when the company returned a second time and used an excavator to remove the debris. Notarangelo's death is still undetermined, a staff member of the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said. Read More World Editorial Cartoons Movies Sports Money News

CT man accused of speeding through traffic during graduation ceremony, crashing with child in car
A Bristol man faces charges for allegedly nearly striking multiple officers while speeding through a traffic detail on Thursday during the Southington High School graduation ceremony where police alleged that he drove over the curb and crashed into a fence with a child in the vehicle. Police working the detail shortly after 8 p.m. had eastbound traffic stopped on Flanders Street when they saw the driver of a white Chevy Trailblazer go over the grassy median in the high school parking lot and cross the sidewalk, according to Capt. Nathan Boislard of the Southington Police Department. The driver then got onto Flanders Street and passed a row of stopped vehicles, Boislard said. The driver continued toward police and sped up as officers were yelling for him to stop the vehicle, according to Boislard and dashcam video released from the incident. As the driver increased his speed he abruptly turned right on Annelise Avenue and drove over a curb before striking a fence and causing other unspecified damage, Boislard said. He then fled the area heading north. According to Boislard, multiple officers had to jump out of the way to avoid being struck by the vehicle. Boislard said information about the incident was relayed to patrol officers who were able to stop the driver on Queen Street. He was identified as 43-year-old Stephen Buckler of Bristol. Officers found that there were two other adults in the vehicle, a teenager and a 6-year-old, according to Boislard. Buckler was taken into custody and charged with risk of injury to child, first-degree reckless endangerment, reckless driving, disobeying the signal of an officer, evading responsibility and failure to drive in the proper lane. He was held on $50,000 bond and was expected to face a judge on Friday in New Britain Superior Court.

Two CT men accused of assaulting man, woman while yelling racial slurs charged with hate crime
Two men have been charged with a hate crime after police alleged that they yelled slurs toward a man of Indian descent and violently assaulted him in Southington earlier this month. The incident was reported on April 5 just before midnight when officers responded to a report of an assault that had occurred on Center Street, according to Lt. Matthew Hammell of the Southington Police Department. Hammell said the alleged victims, a man of Indian descent and a woman, were walking along the sidewalk of Center Street when they were confronted by two white men who allegedly began 'verbally accosting' the man with 'derogatory and racial slurs,' Hammell said. According to Hammell, at one point during the altercation, a man later identified as 28-year-old Ryan Eustace of Wolcott allegedly punched the man in the face. A second suspect, identified as 28-year-old Ryley Haddock of Newington, then allegedly became involved in the scuffle and assaulted the man, Hammell said. The woman who was with the man and bystanders tried to intervene. According to Hammell, Eustace allegedly struck the woman several times. He also allegedly put the man in a headlock at one point, restricting his ability to breathe, Hammell said. The man suffered a bloody nose, broken tooth and other minor abrasions to his hand and knees, Hammell said. The woman suffered minor injuries to her face and legs. They both declined to go to a hospital. Both suspects were charged with first-degree intimidation based on bigotry or bias, ridicule on account of creed, religion, color, denomination, nationality or race, second-degree assault and second-degree breach of peace. Eustace, who was additionally charged with third-degree assault and first-degree strangulation, was initially held in custody and was arraigned in New Britain Superior Court on April 7. According to court records, he is free on a $150,000 bond and is due back in court on June 5. Haddock posted bond and was expected to appear in court on April 17. His case was continued to June 16, court records show. Neither man has entered a plea to the charges, court records show.
