Police have found a driver suspected of fleeing police and his estranged wife said to be taken against her will earlier in Seymour after a reported domestic dispute, police said.
Seymour police spent the day looking for Alan Gombos, 33, of 51 Brookdale Road in Seymour, and the 2004 Ford F-150 pickup truck with Connecticut plates he was suspected of driving when he evaded police investigating a reported disturbance at his home.
His estranged wife was missing during that time and police said earlier they believed someone took her against her will. Police released photos of the pick-up truck as they searched.
They both arrived at the police department just before 5:15 p.m.
One of Gombos' neighbors called 911 just after midnight early Saturday morning after hearing a woman screaming for "help" in what sounded like a disturbance across the street from him in Alan Gombos's home. While police were en route, they learned the people involved in the dispute were getting into a vehicle to leave the home, police said.
When officers got to Gombos' home at 51 Brookdale Road, a gray oncoming pick-up truck was speeding and tried to "ram" into the responding police cruisers, police said. The officers avoided a crash and turned around to chase the fleeing vehicle, according to police.
That pick-up truck got onto Route 8 south via the exit 19 ramp and continued speeding on Route 8 south. Police couldn't catch up with the vehicle and they lost sight of it near exit 14, police said.
