Just before midnight, Officers Francisco Sanchez and Ryan Hall were

making a pass through the parking lot of the Regal Inn. They were
looking for those involved in illicit activity. The property is well
known to Officers who respond regularly to complaints of trespassing,
prostitution, drug crimes and the like.

The Officers circled through the rear of the motel and spotted two
young men standing outside. ‘No Trespassing’ signs were posted on
several parts of the building. The Officers asked if the pair had rented
a room. The men ignored them and walked down the driveway. When they
reached the corner of the building, one of the men, Jayvais Patterson
(9-10-1994), of Blake Street in New Haven, slipped on a patch of ice and
fell down.

It seamed that instead of bracing for the fall, Patterson had been
protecting something he had in or under his sweatshirt. The Officers
suspected he may be armed and approached cautiously.Patterson and his associate,

Randy Lee Sullivan (2-25-1990), of Burwell
Street in New Haven, kept on walking. When the Officers asked them to
stop, Patterson again ignored them and picked up his pace.

When the Officers stopped him, Officer Hall discovered what Patterson
had been protecting. It was a loaded “Iver Johnson’s Arms & Cycle
Works” chrome revolver.

Both Patterson and Sullivan were arrested and charged with criminal
trespassing. Patterson is on Probation. He has neither has a pistol
permit nor any guns registered to him. He was also charged with criminal
possession of a firearm and interfering with a Police Officer. The gun,
which has no available record, was placed into evidence.

New Haven – Mayor Toni N. Harp will join commissioners and officials
of the city’s Department of Parks, Recreation, and Trees (Parks and
Rec) Tuesday morning for a ribbon-cutting and rededication of Edgewood
Park’s Coogan Pavilion. Extensive renovation of the facility was
required after a two-alarm fire there in 2012.

Coogan Pavilion was dedicated in 1961 and is named for James E. Coogan,
a longstanding New Haven parks director in the 1950s. Before the fire
the facility had been used primarily as a base camp for Parks and Rec
summer programs and for storage. Officials say the renovated facility
will be much more versatile and serve as a year ‘round drop-in
recreation center. Among other features, it will have LED lighting and a
meeting room for community groups; plans are for the new building to be
open six days a week.

Tomorrow’s ribbon cutting is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. at the Coogan
Pavilion, just off Whalley Avenue at the northernmost end of Edgewood
Park. Members of the press corps are invited to cover this event.

Millions of Americans still need to get health insurance before Sunday's enrollment deadline.

There's a good chance that includes someone you know.

Today, I'm asking you to forward this and remind folks that it's last call to sign up on the health care marketplace for coverage this year.

Anyone can get started right now:

http://www.HealthCare.gov

It's that simple -- and for the people you care about, it's that important.

We fought for health care reform because everyone deserves to have the peace of mind to know that if you get sick or hurt, you're covered.

I'm going to be out there doing my part to spread the word. But, for the people in your life, there's simply no better messenger than someone they know.

Just forward this note and remind your friends and loved ones to get covered before the February 15thdeadline:

New Haven – Mayor Toni N. Harp has announced plans for a citywide
parking ban tonight and tomorrow to allow snow removal equipment better
access to city streets and arteries. The parking restrictions are
intended to streamline the city’s response to this weekend’s
snowstorm.

The parking ban will be in place beginning at 2:00 a.m. Sunday. The ban
will include the city’s downtown (the area encircled by Martin Luther
King, Jr. Boulevard, State Street, Grove Street, and Howe Street),
posted snow emergency routes, and the odd-numbered side of all other
city streets.

It will also be enforced 25 Feet from any intersection, fire hydrant or
bus stop. The downtown ban will end Sunday at 2:00 p.m.; the remainder
of the parking ban will remain in effect until 6:00 a.m. Monday.

The parking ban will be strictly enforced. All public school lots are
available for parking immediately and until 8:00 a.m. Monday. The

parking until Monday at 9:00 a.m., the Temple Street Garage will open
tonight at 10:00 and charge $3/day until Monday at 9:00 a.m.

“Even though this is a holiday weekend, there will be no shortage of
city resources brought to bear to respond to this next round of winter
storm conditions,” Mayor Harp said. “At the same time, city
residents are asked to comply with these parking restrictions and
encouraged to limit travel to essential trips due to the likelihood of
dangerous road conditions tonight and early tomorrow.”

Free alternative parking is available in New Haven Public Schools
parking lots, city park parking lots, and residents are reminded that
neighborhood parking remains permissible on the even-numbered side of
city streets.

All storm related inquires can be directed to the city’s Office of

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (Feb. 13th, 2015) – Unbeaten New Haven, Conn., junior middleweight Jimmy Williams kept his perfect record intact Friday and stole the show on the undercard of ESPN2’s Friday Night Fights at Mohegan Sun Arena.
 
The event, presented by Banner Promotions in association with CES Boxing, featured four regional undercard bouts in addition to the televised quarterfinals of the junior middleweight Boxcino Tournament, originally established in 2014.
 
Facing a tough test against veteran slugger Eddie Caminero (7-9) of Lawrence, Mass., Williams (9-0-1, 5 KOs) fought through a sluggish stretch in the middle rounds before stopping Caminero at the 2-minute, 32-second mark in the fourth round of their scheduled six-round bout, his second win of 2015 and second in the last four weeks.
 
Known primarily for his punching power, the 34-year-old Caminero took the fight on just three days’ notice and found himself in trouble midway through the opening round courtesy of a hard right. Williams countered with two more rights, sending Cameniro wobbling toward the ropes trying to maintain his balance.
 
Caminero survived the round and then began building momentum in the second, at one point taunting Williams in an attempt to get him to exchange blows in the center of the ring. Williams obliged and wound up in a slugfest, which worked in Camerino’s favor.
 
The wily veteran out-boxed Williams in the second and third and began applying more pressure in the fourth until Williams found his distance and caught the hard-charging Caminero with a perfect left cross, sending Cameniro crashing to the canvas. Caminero scrambled to his feet quickly, but referee Miguel Cortez waived it off, giving Williams his second knockout win of the year.
 
“He’s a real tough fighter and that’s what I was expecting,” Williams said. “I tried to box him and got into a slugfest, but I got the knockout. It was great.
 
“He kept coming at me. It was a good experience. My hat’s off to him. He’s a tough fighter. I wasn’t hurt at all. I took some tough shots, but I can take shots. I made it harder than it needed to be, but I kept learning and got the win. Now I’m 9-0.”
 
Worcester, Mass., middleweight Khiary Gray-Pitts (5-0, 3 KOs) also kept his perfect record intact, stopping Rodrigo Almeida (1-2) of Woburn, Mass., at the end of the opening round. Gray-Pitts attacked Almeida to the body early and often, effectively cutting off the ring as Almeida tried to circle out of harm’s way. Almeida survived the final bell of the opening round, but retreated to his corner clutching his ribcage, prompting his corner to throw in the towel. The unbeaten Gray-Pitts now has two wins in 2015, both by first-round knockout.
 
Also on the undercard, lightweight Oscar Bonilla (3-0-2) of Bridgeport, Conn., fought to a majority draw against 19-year-old San Antonio prospect Angel Martinez (5-1-1). Judge Don Trella scored the fight 39-37 in favor of Bonilla while judges Peter Hary Jr. and Glenn Feldman each scored it 38-38.
 
Bonilla out-boxed Martinez in the opening round, but the remaining three were back-and-forth with each judge scoring differently throughout the rest of the fight. Hary Jr. gave the second round to Bonilla and the third to Martinez, whereas Trella scored the second in favor of Martinez and the third for Bonilla. Martinez also won the fourth round on two of the three judges’ scorecards.
 
New Bedford, Mass., Ray Oliveira Jr. (2-0, 1 KO) was also scheduled to fight on the undercard in a four-round bout against Ralph Johnson (1-3, 1 KO) of Worcester, Mass.
