Windsor Man Facing Charges After Incident at East Windsor Middle School

An 18-year-old Windsor man is facing charges after the East Windsor Police Department responded to a burglary alarm at East Windsor Middle School.

At approximately 1:20 a.m. on Friday, officers responded and when they arrived arrived, they heard voices and footsteps inside the school.

A short time later, they observed three males, two running and one on a bicycle, heading west toward the woods. Officers gave chase and one suspect Caleb Newburry, of 126 Portman St., was apprehended in the woods.

The Connecticut State Police responded with a K9 in an attempt to track the additional suspects, but a track was unsuccessful.

An investigation revealed the suspects had climbed onto the school’s roof and threw 27 metal drain covers off of it and onto the ground - which damaged them. The suspects then gained access to the school’s interior where they also damaged equipment.

Newburry was arrested and charged with third-degree burglary, third-degree criminal mischief, and third-degree criminal trespass. He is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 18.

Anyone with any information about the incident is encouraged to contact the police department through the private message feature on Facebook or at 860-292-8240.
