A Bridgeport correction officer who pleaded guilty earlier this month to manslaughter charges in a fatal hit-and-run crash was arrested a few days ago on new charges.
Patricia Daniels, 46, of Bridgeport, was charged with two counts of risk of injury to a child and third-degree assault on Tuesday for an incident on March 14. Police have not released details on the incident that prompted the charges.
Days before on March 11, Daniels pleaded not guilty to manslaughter in the early December hit-and-run crash that killed Evelyn Agyei, 51, a mother of three and injured her 11-year-old son.
The court set her bond at $10,000 and a judge is awaiting her plea. She is scheduled to appear in court again for that case on April 8.
Daniels has served as a correction officer at the Bridgeport Correctional Center since 1998 and was placed on administrative leave after her arrest tied to the fatal hit-and-run, according to a Department of Correction spokesperson.
