Goldstein reportedly left the scene in a Honda Odyssey minivan. That information was shared with other law enforcement agencies around the area as Norwalk police continued their investigation.
A few hours later, authorities said a trooper from Connecticut State Police saw Goldstein's van and began to follow it on Interstate 95 while waiting for more troopers and officers to assist.
With help from Westport Police, Goldstein's vehicle was stopped on the highway. Police said Goldstein was a passenger in the van and he was detained by Westport police and Connecticut State Police. Norwalk police then responded and took him into custody.
