Weapon Discovered in NHHS Student's Car

A NHHS student was arrested Friday after an officer discovered a 7-inch double-bladed knife in his car.

Per a 1992 law, deadly weapons are forbidden on Connecticut campuses, except under very specific circumstances such as administrator-approved firearms safety courses, or if they are in the possession of law enforcement officials performing official duties.  

The student, Jared Ouellette, 18, was charged with possession of a weapon on school grounds, a Class D felony, and will appear in court on March 31.

In other police news, officers arrested Frank S. Boyd, 37, of Branford, CT after an officer noticed the suspect's SUV parked in a private wooded area off Valley Service Road.

Upon searching the vehicle, Officer Frank Castiglione discovered crack cocaine and a pipe in Boyd's possession.

Boyd is currently pleading not guilty to two motor vehicle infractions in New Haven, and has been found guilty in three prior cases, one for interfering with an officer, one for resisting arrest and possession of a controlled substance, and one for reckless driving, all misdemeanors.

Boyd will appear in court on the trespassing and possession charges on March 31.
