OMG PD: Oct. 26-Nov. 1

A look at some remarkable police cases from Connecticut State Police Troop C Barracks.

The Case: James P. Iannicelli, 19, of 24 Rivergate Dr., Cromwell, was arrested by Connecticut State Police on North Eagleville Road in Mansfield and charged with two counts of third-degree criminal mischief, interfering with an officer, two counts of assaulting public safety/emergency personnel and breach of peace.

The OMG PD Twist: On Oct. 27, police said Iannicelli became "enraged," when asked to leave a property on North Eagleville Road. Police said Iannicelli refused to leave the property upon request, yelled at troopers and then resisted arrest, according to a police report. Police said Iannicelli then ignored verbal commands while being taken into custody and while on his way to the Troop C Barracks, spit on the police cruiser's steering column and front passenger window, according to a police report. Police said Iannicelli also kicked the dashboard of the cruiser, causing damage to its airbag. Once at the barracks Iannicelli continued his “unruly” behavior and yelled and spit in his cell, according to a police report. Iannicelli's bond was set at $10,000. He appeared in Rockville Superior Court on Oct. 29.
