Man Charged with Violating Protective Order
A Norwalk man stopped on the Post Road had a protective order telling him not to be in the presence of a woman—who was the passenger in his car, police said.
A police officer who stopped a car last Monday partly because it had extremely dark tinted glass found a woman passenger inside who had two protective orders against a Norwalk man driving the vehicle, police said.
The man, Bryant Vargas, 23, was arrested. Captain Frederick W. Komm, commander of the Darien Police detective bureau and a spokesman for the department, gave this account of the charges:
Vargas, was driving a 2008 Infiniti G35 west on the Post Road near the Exit 13 entrance to Interstate 95 at 9:22 p.m. A police officer noticed the glass and an "aftermarket blue rear license plate," according to Komm.
