Moodus Man Arrested after Engaging Glastonbury Police in Pursuit


On Wednesday, October 1, 2014 at approximately 1:50 p.m., Glastonbury Police were on routine patrol in the area of 2875 Main Street and the Cumberland Farms store in town.

A plain-clothes officer observed an individual sitting in their vehicle, and determined that person to be acting suspiciously and believed them to be involved in illegal narcotics activity, according to the report.

When the officer approached the vehicle and attempted to identify himself, the driver then reportedly drove off at a high rate of speed, out of the parking lot and onto Main Street, almost striking the officer in the process.

The suspect then engaged police in a brief pursuit along Main Street before the officer discontinued the chase.

The driver fled the area, but was taken into custody about an hour later when police were able to locate him at his residence.

Taylor Bauer, 23, of Eli Chapman Road, Moodus was arrested and charged with Interfering with an Officer, 1st-Degree Reckless Endangerment, Reckless Driving, Failure to Bring a Motor-Vehicle to a Full Stop when Signaled and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, related to Heroin use.

Bauer was held on a $25,000 court-set bond and scheduled to appear at Manchester Superior Court on 10/2/14.


An arrest or infraction does not indicate a conviction, and all individuals listed in these reports are considered innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
