- Robert Lorenz, 48, of 3 Bittersweet Lane, Westport, was charged with DUI on Feb. 8. officers responded to a report of driver slumped over behind the wheel of a stopped vehicle in the intersection of Bridge and Compo roads. Police found Lorenz in the driver’s seat, unresponsive, with the vehicle’s engine idling with the transmission in drive gear. Lorenz awoke and accelerated slowly through the intersection while officers ran alongside the vehicle yelling for him to stop which he did just short of striking a light pole on the right shoulder of Greens Farms Road. He then shut off the vehicle and rolled the driver’s window down. Officers were unable to comprehend his mumbled speech and could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath. Lorenz failed the field sobriety tests and was taken into custody and subsequently refused to submit to a breath test. He was unable to post bond and was brought to Norwalk Superior Court Wednesday morning for his arraignment.
