Bomb Scare Evacuates ASML Building on Christmas Day

Last week, the Wilton Police Department’s arrest log was dominated by a series of serious incidents, including a bomb scare at the ASML building on Danbury Road. On Christmas Day, at approximately 2:48 p.m., authorities were alerted to an individual who had gained unauthorized access to the ASML building, carrying multiple bags. The suspect then left the premises in an Uber, abandoning the bags on-site. As a precautionary measure, the building was evacuated, and the Stamford Police Department Bomb Squad was called in.

Fortunately, subsequent investigations revealed that the bags did not contain any explosives, providing relief to the concerned authorities and individuals.

Former ASML Employee Identified as Suspect

Through diligent investigation, the suspect was later identified as Clifton Allison, a 33-year-old resident of Norwalk and a former ASML employee. Upon contact by Wilton police, Allison denied any involvement in the incident.

However, at approximately 10:41 p.m. on the same day, Wilton police received another report that Allison had returned to the ASML property and again managed to gain illegal access to the building.

Following this development, Allison was promptly taken into custody and transported to Wilton PD Headquarters, where he was processed and charged with two counts of first-degree criminal trespass and one count of second-degree breach of peace. He was subsequently held on a $10,000 bond and scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court the following day.

DUI Arrest Made After Hit-and-Run Incident

On December 20, just before 9:30 p.m., Wilton police conducted a traffic stop on a 1998 Chevy Suburban that had collided with a guard rail at the intersection of Olmstead Hill Road and Danbury Road. The driver allegedly attempted to flee the scene.

Upon further investigation, the police determined that the 47-year-old female driver from Ridgefield was under the influence of alcohol. The driver was subsequently taken to Wilton PD Headquarters, where she was processed and charged with DUI, evading responsibility with property damage, and driving without a license.

According to the police, the woman’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was measured at 0.1913 and 0.1827. In Connecticut, individuals aged 21 or over are considered legally intoxicated with a BAC of 0.08 or higher.

The woman was released on a $250 bond with a promise to appear at Stamford Superior Court on December 29.

Arrest Warrant Executed for Forgery and Identity Theft

On December 21, a 20-year-old man from Teaneck, NJ, voluntarily surrendered at the Wilton Police Department after an active arrest warrant was issued against him.

Dondre Devon Dumas was processed and charged with multiple offenses, including two counts of first-degree forgery, two counts of second-degree identity theft, two counts of criminal impersonation, third-degree larceny, and attempt to commit third-degree larceny.

Following the setting of his bond at $20,000, Dumas posted $2,000 and was subsequently released. He is scheduled to appear at Stamford Superior Court on January 5.
