Police have arrested a 48-year-old former Trumbull resident in connection with the suspicious death of his girlfriend, who was found bleeding in the road late last month in Monroe.
Police said the charges stem from a domestic violence arrest earlier this year in Virginia, after which 41-year-old Jennifer Sredzinski obtained a protective order against Thomas Fischer.
Fischer was arrested Monday in Milford and charged with violation of a protection order "based on information obtained during the investigation into the untimely death"of Sredzinski, according to police.
Sredzinski, 41, was found with a severe head injury in the middle of the street at the Windgate Circle in the Hills of Monroe condominium complex on Monday, Aug. 25. She died of her injuries Thursday, Aug. 28, authorities said.
The town first selectman said she was the ex-wife of town council member J.P. Sredzinski, who is also running for state representative.
According to the Connecticut Post, Fischer was questioned in Sredzinski's death but denied involvement.
Police said they continue to investigate Sredzinski's death and that "all leads and information are being pursued."

Fischer's bond was set at $100,000. He's due in court Tuesday, Sept. 9.
Information on an attorney for Fischer was not immediately available.
Anyone with knowledge of Sredzinski's death is urged to call Monroe police detectives at 203-261-3622.
