Police Blotter: Troop B
John Coston
The following information was provided by the Connecticut State Police at Troop B. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Larceny arrest
On the evening of Jan. 11, North Canaan Resident Trooper Spencer Bronson was dispatched to Troop B to process Anthony Damis, 34, of Torrington, who had a warrant out for his arrest regarding an incident at Xtra Mart on Route 44 dated Dec. 3, 2025. Trooper Bronson spoke on the phone with Damis, who turned himself in at Troop B later in the evening and was processed for third degree larceny. He was released on a $1,000 non-surety bond and was scheduled to appear at Torrington Superior Court on Jan. 22.
Car rolls after icy skid
On the morning of Jan. 13, Ryne Stankiewicz, 40, of Kent, was traveling west on Route 4 in Cornwall when his Honda Civic slid out on the snowy roadway. The vehicle struck a snow embankment on the shoulder and flipped onto its passenger side where it came to a stop. Stankiewicz was reported to have suffered possible injuries, and the vehicle was disabled by the incident. Stankiewicz was issued a written warning for failure to maintain proper lane.
Car strikes boulder in roadway
Just after midnight on Jan. 18, Kelly Whelan, 52, of Salisbury, was driving west on Route 44 near the intersection with Route 126 in North Canaan when her vehicle struck a large rock in the middle of the roadway. Whelan stated she was uninjured in the incident, but her Subaru Outback was disabled and had to be towed from the scene. No legal action was taken.

Christopher Race produced this 33-inch, 30-ounce torpedo-style baseball bat as part of his senior Capstone project at Housatonic Valley Regional High School.
Patrick L. Sullivan
FALLS VILLAGE — Seniors at Housatonic Valley Regional High School showcased a wide range of hands-on skills and career interests as they presented their Capstone projects on Thursday, Jan. 15.
Levi Elliott of Millerton restored a 1993 Dodge 350D two-wheel-drive dually truck, working under the guidance of his mentor and advisor, Roger Ellwood of Sharon, whom Elliott described as being “like a grandpa.”
The truck had been stored in a barn in Tennessee, meaning structural rust was not an issue, though there was some surface rust and a few dents. Elliott replaced the five-speed manual transmission and the truck bed and described sandblasting as “the dirtiest job” of the entire process.
The electrical system, he said, “was a mess,” requiring him to start from scratch with help from a friend. Elliott estimated he has invested about $6,000 in the restoration, noting that comparable trucks can sell for as much as $16,000. He plans to register and insure the vehicle once he earns his driver’s license.
Matt McGuire of North Canaan, who hopes to pursue a career in law enforcement, centered his project on learning about state police work. He contacted the State Police Troop B barracks and was paired with advisor Trooper Lance Carlson, a K9 officer and HVRHS graduate.
Through the project, McGuire learned about the range of situations troopers encounter during their shifts, including traffic enforcement and responding to injured animals in the roadway. He also gained exposure to fingerprinting, dispatch operations, and the Ford Explorers used by troopers. McGuire noted that Carlson’s vehicle includes “a bed in the back for the dog.”
Asked why he wants to become a police officer, McGuire said simply, “I like helping people.”
Christopher Race of Lakeville, a baseball player, took a different approach, choosing to make both a bat and a baseball from scratch. His first attempt at crafting a bat from a block of maple using only a hammer and chisel was unsuccessful. After gaining access to a lathe and receiving training, he produced a 33-inch, 30-ounce torpedo-style bat.
Race also created a baseball using leather, a bouncy ball for the core, and extensive string wrapping. Reflecting on the process, he said he learned that “projects don’t always go as planned, so you have to adapt to reach the goal.”

Kent Memorial Library Executive Director Sarah Marshall shows the plans for the renovated library during Saturday’s “Goodbye Party.”
Ruth Epstein
KENT — It was billed as a “Goodbye Party to the Kent Memorial Library as We Know It.”
On Saturday, Jan. 17, as snow fell steadily, hardy members of the community came out to take a final look at the present-day facility that is now closed for a major renovation project.
While the weather deterred many from coming out for the festivities, those who did were given a detailed presentation by Executive Director Sarah Marshall on how the new facility will look. She exuded excitement that was clearly shared by attendees.
The original brick building will remain, she assured them, but the addition, including connecting to the adjacent former fire house, will provide for an abundance of needed space and the opportunity to expand all types of offerings. The cost is approximately $7.7 million, but Marshall said there’s a possibility it might be a bit lower.
Those in attendance spoke lovingly of the library, which, as it is in many towns, is a focal point. Nicole Dunne, who lived in Kent but recently moved to Warren, spoke of how her family began using the library when she had her first child. “It’s been wonderful the whole time. They really pay attention to the community’s needs. We’re very excited about the addition. It’s been a long time in the making.”
Sarah Marshall, executive director of Kent Memorial Library, cuts the cake at Saturday’s “Goodbye Party,” as the library temporarily closes for a large renovation project. The cake’s inscription reads ‘The library is growing!Ruth Epstein
Carrie Trowbridge and her family are also loyal users of the library. Asked for her thoughts about the renovation, she replied, “It’s going to be a big change.”
But Karina O’Meara has already witnessed changes. Raised in Kent, she has vivid memories of climbing up the steep set of stairs that led to the children’s room. “I remember seeking out Nancy Drew books and viewing such movies as ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ and ‘Bedknobs and Broomsticks.’”
“Going up there was kind of spooky and dark,” O’Meara said. “I had to give myself courage to go up there.”
She also had memories of Thelma Barton, a longtime town and school librarian.
The junior room was part of a past renovation and is now in the rear of the first floor. Administrative offices are up on the second floor, still reached by those steep stairs.
Marshall, in a letter to the community, explained the temporary quarters will be at 10-12 Landmark Lane in the Kent Green.
It is hoped that space will be open some time in February. She listed all the resources that will be housed there, saying, “Basically, we’ll have just about everything we offer at the library, just on a smaller scale.” It is expected the renovation will take about a year. During this time, patrons can use their Kent library card in any library in Connecticut. Information will be posted on the library’s website throughout the project.
Marshall said she’s grateful to all for the community’s understanding “as we face some growing pains.”
“Thanks to everyone who has helped us get to this milestone,” she said. “It’s going to be a wonderful addition to the library and the town we all love.”
