Press Release

On September 13, 2026, East Hampton officers received a report of a vehicle driving erratically as it entered the town from Portland. Officers located the vehicle as it traveled through town. It was observed passing multiple vehicles in no-passing zones, speeding, and creating a hazard for both pedestrians and other vehicles.

The vehicle continued through East Hampton and approached a road that had been closed by the East Hampton Fire Department due to an unrelated vehicle crash. The driver disregarded the road closure, striking one firefighter while narrowly missing several others.

The investigating officer, Officer Bankowski, was able to determine the identity of the driver through various resources, including license plate recognition (LPR) systems from outside agencies and free-text searches. Officer Bankowski coordinated with the Meriden Police Department and the Southington Police Department during the investigation. The suspect, Kendal Shelton was well-known to the Meriden Police Department with 28 previous arrest convictions.

On October 6, 2026, the suspect, Kendal Shelton (DOB: 10/21/93), was taken into custody on an arrest warrant that charged him with the following offenses:

- CGS 14-223(b)**: Engaging in Police Pursuit
- CGS 14-222: Reckless Driving
- CGS 14-234: No Passing Zone
- CGS 14-299: Traffic Control Signals
- CGS 53a-167a: Interfering with an Officer
- CGS 53a-167c(a(1)): Assault on Public Safety with Injury
- CGS 14-224(b)(3): Evading Responsibility with Injury
- CGS 14-283b(b(1)): Failure to Move Over for Emergency Vehicles
- CGS 29-17: Failure to Comply with Fingerprinting
Shelton was unable to post the $30,000 court set bond set by the court and was transported to Middlesex Court for his appearance.
