Brookfield Man: 'That's It, I'm Done,' DUI

Brookfield man charged Friday morning with driving under the influence after driving toward a Danbury police officer in his lane.

Danbury Police charged Mark Daab, 43, Brookfield, with driving under the influence and failure to grant half the highway after he drove toward oncoming traffic on Osborne Street after midnight Friday.

Police said Daab drove toward a Danbury Police officer in the officer's lane, and after being stopped, Daab reportedly jumped out of the car and said, "That's it, I'm done!"

Daab smelled of alcohol, police said, and failed all three field sobriety tests. He posted a $500 bond and is scheduled to answer the charge in Danbury Superior court on Feb. 25.

This information was provided by the Danbury Police Department. A person charged with a crime is innocent until having been convicted in court.

I would recommend supporting an increase similar to Ridgefield's which was under 2% (1.97%). If aRead More community like Ridgefield can perform at high levels with an increase under 2%, the Board of Education, in asking for almost twice that is openly admitting that they have installed inefficient management in school administration. Further, the sewer system on the referendum will require municipal funding since it is backed by the full faith and credit of the town of Brookfield and reduces the town's borrowing ability - the advertisement for which indicated it would not impact municipal funding.

So Mandarin Chinese won't be a requirement? Perhaps Manchurin Chinese? Cantonese Chinese? MongolianRead More Chinese? Which Chinese are the British speaking these days? Their empire stretched in the Hindu speaking parts of Asia but they aren't teaching Hindu. A quandry indeed.
