CT man accused of speeding through traffic during graduation ceremony, crashing with child in car
A Bristol man faces charges for allegedly nearly striking multiple officers while speeding through a traffic detail on Thursday during the Southington High School graduation ceremony where police alleged that he drove over the curb and crashed into a fence with a child in the vehicle. Police working the detail shortly after 8 p.m. had eastbound traffic stopped on Flanders Street when they saw the driver of a white Chevy Trailblazer go over the grassy median in the high school parking lot and cross the sidewalk, according to Capt. Nathan Boislard of the Southington Police Department. The driver then got onto Flanders Street and passed a row of stopped vehicles, Boislard said. The driver continued toward police and sped up as officers were yelling for him to stop the vehicle, according to Boislard and dashcam video released from the incident. As the driver increased his speed he abruptly turned right on Annelise Avenue and drove over a curb before striking a fence and causing other unspecified damage, Boislard said. He then fled the area heading north. According to Boislard, multiple officers had to jump out of the way to avoid being struck by the vehicle. Boislard said information about the incident was relayed to patrol officers who were able to stop the driver on Queen Street. He was identified as 43-year-old Stephen Buckler of Bristol. Officers found that there were two other adults in the vehicle, a teenager and a 6-year-old, according to Boislard. Buckler was taken into custody and charged with risk of injury to child, first-degree reckless endangerment, reckless driving, disobeying the signal of an officer, evading responsibility and failure to drive in the proper lane. He was held on $50,000 bond and was expected to face a judge on Friday in New Britain Superior Court.

Murder trial interrupted when two women fight in courthouse bathroom
Maurice Berry's murder trial was interrupted Thursday when two women loudly fought in a nearby bathroom. Berry, 22, of Hammond, is on trial in Lake Superior Court in Crown Point this week for killing a bystander, Javier 'Campa' Olvera, 49, at an East Chicago gas station and wounding Maurice Garrett — the intended target who had dated Berry's longtime on-and-off girlfriend after they broke up. As Det. James Nielsen was wrapping his testimony, a screaming match erupted outside the courtroom. The two women also had children with Berry. One was there to testify for both the prosecution and defense. A man, who said he was her brother, was trying to calm her down for several minutes. The other, who was pregnant, at one point appeared to yell she would fight and 'shoot' the other woman. Later, she apologized. Both women were arrested. They said the other attacked them. Police couldn't see from a video who started the brief fight in the bathroom. Both are expected to be charged with battery. Afterward, Judge Natalie Bokota rejected defense lawyer Susan Severtson's bid for a mistrial. East Chicago Police responded around 8 p.m. March 30, 2024, to a BP gas station, 4502 Indianapolis Blvd. Olvera was lying on the ground, shot multiple times. Surveillance video showed Berry pull up in a black Chevy Trailblazer, then go inside holding a concealed object in his hand. Olvera was already in line. The other man — who was later wounded — walked inside and 'looked at Berry.' On camera, the man and Berry appeared to exchange words. Berry shot at the man. Olvera dropped to the floor 'immediately.' mcolias@
