On Saturday, 04/26/25, Troop L- Litchfield contacted Troop C- Tolland and advised that they had Kyle Espute (DOB 07/26/2000), of Torrington, in their custody. It was learned that Troop C held an active arrest warrant for Espute, and he was subsequently turned over to the custody of Troop C personnel.

Espute was transported to Troop C, where he was processed on the following charges pursuant to the arrest warrant:
CGS 14-147(c); Misuse of Registration Plate
CGS 14-222*; Reckless Driving > 85 mph
CGS 14-223(b)**; Engaging Police In Pursuit
