#Bridgeport, Conn. (November 16, 2015 Press Release) – The Bridgeport Police Department announced the arrest of a man for multiple counts of reckless endangerment. On Thursday, November 12, a police officer reported over the radio that he was almost struck by a Cadillac that was fleeing west on Fairfield Ave. The police officer who was almost struck then stated that the Cadillac jumped onto I-95 northbound at Pine St. When police officers ran the plate number of the vehicle, it revealed that the owner of the 2006 Cadillac is David Brandman of Milford (DOB: 4/6/1968). The Bridgeport Police Department notified the State Police and Milford Police Department.

The State Police and the Milford Police Department, working in conjunction with the Bridgeport Police Department, were able to track down the suspect shortly thereafter in Milford. As police officers attempted to pull the Cadillac over in Milford, the operator of the vehicle refused, followed by nearly striking a police officer who was on foot yelling for the vehicle to stop. Police officers were later able to stop the vehicle, and detained the suspect Brandman, in Milford. The Bridgeport Police Department took custody of Brandman from the Milford Police Department, and transported him to Bridgeport.

Brandman was booked, and charged with two counts of reckless endangerment in the 1st, and two counts of disobeying an officers signal in a construction zone. Bond was set at $10,000.
