Police: Man drove from RI to fight Conn. resident

GRISWOLD, Conn. (AP) — A Rhode Island man has been arrested after police say he drove about 30 miles from his home in Warwick to a Connecticut trailer park in search of a fight.

Daniel Pellegrino was taken into custody Saturday after crashing his car into a tree near Connelly's Mobile Home Park in Niantic.

The Norwich Bulletin reports that the 30-year-old Pellegrino told police he drove across the state line to fight a trailer park resident.

Police say they received two complaints saying Pellegrino had threatened a man and a woman in the area.

He was held in lieu of $2,500 bond on charges including assault, threatening and harassment and was scheduled to be presented in Norwich Superior court on Monday. It was not immediately clear if he had hired an attorney.
