Late Night Accident Leads to Arrests

Two men were arrested in the early morning hours on June 9 following a reported motor vehicle accident in the parking lot across from the Sky Hookah Lounge on Kings Highway.

Arrested on charges of criminal impersonation, second-degree forgery and interfering with an officer was Eduardo G. Sanchez, 20, of Bridgeport. Harry Rosado, 23, of Stratford, was charged with interfering with an officer.

Police said the arrests were made after an officer observed a vehicle backing out of a parking space and heard a noise that sounded like an accident. The officer responded and the operator, Sanchez, reportedly said he hit a concrete wall while backing out of a tight space.

When asked to present identification, Sanchez allegedly presented Rosado's license, which police said was suspended.

Rosado, a passenger in the vehicle, had his bond set at $500 and he is scheduled to appear in court on June 19. Sanchez' bond was set at $1,000.
