Danbury Police: DUI, Refusal to Process

Danbury officers found a driver slumped over the wheel of his truck at about 1:20 a.m. Wednesday. Police said Andrew Murray, , 49, Pine Mountain Road, Ridgefield, was parked diagonally across the two north bound lanes on Sugar Hollow Road. The windshield was totally frosted over on this vehicle. After speaking to Murray, who had a strong odor of alcohol and red eyes,  officers administered the standardized field sobriety tests, which he failed.  Andrew Murray is charged with operating an unregistered motor vehicle, failure to carry his operator license, failure to provide proof of insurance, reckless driving, operating under the influence of liquor and/or drugs, and failure to drive right. He was held on a $5,000 bond.

Danbury Police officers were sent to Prespa, 46 Mill Plain Road, for a disturbance at 11:36 p.m. Tuesday. Upon their arrival, they 
spoke to restaurant managment who said that Margaret Kulikowski, 28, Danbury, and another female were arguing with the bartender about the drinks they were served. Management asked them to leave, but they started yelling louder. The police were called. Upon the officers arrival, managment said they just wanted the women to leave. Officers told the two women what the restaurant staff wanted, and Kulikowski became more argumentative and combative. At that time she was placed under arrest. At headquarters, Kulikowski threw her boots at officers and refused to be processed. Kulikowski was charged with second-degree breach of peace, interfering with the duties of an officer, and refusal to be fingerprinted.  She is currently being held on $5,000 bond.
