Police in West Hartford, Connecticut, arrested Matthew Flynn, 46, in August; apparently enraged by the repetitive music coming from an ice cream truck on his block, Flynn allegedly threatened to castrate the teenage truck driver with a pair of hedge clippers. Also in August, David Rye, 48, was arrested in Simi Valley, California, after he allegedly tried to silence the car alarm of a Toyota parked near his apartment by firing at least three bullets into the car.
Wanted on several traffic violations in Mineral County, Montana, Werner D. Anderson led deputies on a June car chase that crossed county lines, then slowed to about 20 miles per hour before he finally surrendered at a roadblock. Officials said that when Anderson got out of his van, they saw a syringe package fall to the ground; he reportedly explained he’d been driving so slowly at the end because he was trying to shoot up cocaine.
