WESTPORT — For the third time in a month, a 47-year-old woman faces charges in connection with a domestic disturbance, police said.
Sherline Lorius, of Westport, was charged May 19 with third-degree assault, second-degree threatening, disorderly conduct and violation of a protective order.
The latest incident took place May 19 when officers were dispatched to investigate a complaint by a person who said that a relative had threatened and assaulted them in violation of a protective order, according to the report.
The assailant was identified by police as Lorius, who was subsequently arrested and held on $100,000 bond for arraignment the next day at state Superior Court in Stamford.
Does any other taxpayer object to the WPD being dispatched 3 times in a month to this undoubtedly affordable housing resident’s Greens Farms home? And where did she get the $10,000 to post bail on her $100,000 bond?
There are those taxpayers who welcome diversity and inclusion on our nickel. They not only applaud every shred of vacant land,regardless of zoning restrictions, fire department objections, and wetlands prohibitions, be a cite on which to erect new affordable housing projects. Some have gone so far as to second the notion they be offered units with a dock on the Saugatuck. These proponents assert our school age children must be exposed at an early age to the “real” world and so we now have the 1% in control of hiring teachers from HBCU’S and in the absence of sufficient candidates, hiring those who have not occupied a classroom seat since 12th grade, to teach our kids under a “residency ” program.The last school board meetings have called in the Norwalk chapter of the NAACP
To all of this those who see things from the other side,we say stop the madness. The better use of the WPD time might be spent to capture the mallet carrying, hooded thieves who escaped a jewelry heist on Main St. in broad daylight..
And as for affordable housing, the time has come to screen the good,the bad and the ugly. I have labored for years under the misconception that these units were to be awarded to decent,hardworking people on a temporary basis to aid them through rough times, not a generational life support .
As you drive by Canal Park, what do you see? The first thing I notice is there are no garages. The units built decades ago to house our elderly residents who couldn’t afford Lansdowne, are now also home to young, allegedly mentally ill former Bridgeport residents . The eldely have to risk breaking a hip carrying in their bags of groceries while a few yards down the road, we are about to open new luxury apts with views of the Saugatuck and underground parking to Affordable housing residents like Sherline Lorius, the woman who inspired this comment.
