NORWALK By STEVE KOBAK Hour Staff Writer A 45-year-old Stamford man was arrested early Tuesday morning after breaking into an acquaintance's apartment and apparently smearing barbecue sauce on the wall, police said. Breckenridge Shanklin, of 597 South Pacific St., was charged with disorderly conduct, second-degree burglary, interfering with an officer and refusal to be fingerprinted. He was held on $25,000 bond and given a court date of Aug. 5. Police said they apprehended Shanklin after they were called to a residential burglary near C&S Grocery, 86 Woodward Ave., shortly after midnight. When officers arrived, two men and a woman -- all of whom lived across the street from the C&S Grocery -- were standing near Shanklin, who was laying [sic] on the ground behind the grocery store, police said. Officers later learned that Shanklin had busted in the apartment for no apparent reason while a male and a female who lived in the apartment were walking on Woodward Avenue, according to police.
NORWALK By STEVE KOBAK Hour Staff Writer Four people were pulled from the water in Norwalk Harbor near Manresa Island late Monday night after their 17-foot boat struck a navigational buoy and started to sink, according to police. Norwalk firefighters and the Marine Unit of the Norwalk Police Department responded to the boating accident at 11:13 p.m., according to Sgt. Peter Lapak of the Marine Unit. The boat was sinking quickly because it struck a buoy and sustained a four-foot hole in its right side, Maggio said. By the time emergency crews arrived, the 15-year-old captain of the boat and his three passengers had boarded the 15-year-old's father's boat, which was also towing the remains of the damaged boat, Maggio said. Police learned that the 15-year-old captain had called his father before calling police, Lapak said. His father's other boat was docked at Cove Marina, and his father quickly set out to rescue the distressed boaters, according to Maggio. The boaters were not wearing life jackets, and they were in the water for several minutes prior to the rescue, police said.

NORWALK By STEVE KOBAK Hour Staff Writer A series of mishaps and miscues led to the identification and capture of the three men accused of conspiring to rob the Chestnut Hill Road branch of Fairfield County Savings Bank, according to court files that were unsealed Tuesday. Information from a social worker, an astute bank clerk and the father of one of the suspects led police to identify Matthew DeCredico, Timothy Nikolis and Christopher Williams as suspects who stole $4,200 from the bank, police said. Nikolis, 24, of Westport, and Williams, 23, of Norwalk, both pleaded not guilty to the robbery-related charges at their previous court dates. Decredico, 23, of Westport, pleaded not guilty to the charges on Tuesday. All three men are being held at Bridgeport Correctional Center and they will appear in court on Aug. 27. According to an arrest warrant affidavit, DeCredico, Nikolis and Williams spent the hours prior to the July 6 robbery looking for heroin and trying to pawn a flatscreen television that they had stolen from an office building.
NORWALK Staff Report One male was stabbed in the back Tuesday evening during a domestic altercation in a home at 24 Linden St. The Hour photographer Matthew Vinci had arrived on the scene and saw the victim was bleeding profusely.
