Former Security Guard Spat On Person, Charged With DUI: Police

FAIRFIELD, CT — A former security guard faces charges after spitting in a person’s face and then driving under the influence, according to police.

James Laramee, 27, of Stamford, was arrested last week and charged with driving under the influence and second-degree breach of peace, police said.

An employee of a company that handles security at the Lantern Point private beach community called law enforcement about 7:30 p.m. April 25 to report Laramee, who previously worked for the company, was refusing to leave the area, according to police. The employee said Laramee spit in their face and appeared intoxicated, according to police, who added Laramee then fled the scene, heading north on Reef Road.

Officers found Laramee not far from the area, according to police. He was arrested and released after posting $1,000 bond, police said, noting he is set to appear Friday in court.
