Hands Up!
Darien police released video this week of the moment they stopped Yankees general manager Brian Cashman at gunpoint. The confrontation came after police responding to a report of a man with a gun who had been seen driving a white Jeep spotted Cashman’s vehicle — which incorrectly was still listed as stolen despite having been recovered by New York police days earlier.

Rattled in Glastonbury
Glastonbury's animal control officer was called to a home on Mountainview Road on Tuesday to remove two timber rattlesnakes from a yard. The timber rattlesnake is one of two venomous species of snake native to Connecticut. The snakes were relocated. For more on the timber rattlesnake, click here.
Kindergarten Cops
A group of young children who witnessed a motorcyclist flee the scene of a crash on Tuesday wanted to do their part to help police catch the man. They each used crayons to draw sketches of the man, complete with descriptions like "hands," "shirt," and "blood." Police posted the drawings on Facebook and say they have sparked interest in the case from the public. See more on the drawings here.
