NORTHFORD — A 35-year-old man was arrested for the second time this year after police say he was riding a dirt bike while holding an infant.
Timothy Sherrick of Northford was charged with risk of injury to a minor after police responded to reports of a man operating a dirt bike on the roadway while holding an 11-month-old child.
Sherrick was released after his arrest, according to the North Branford Police Department.
This incident follows a previous arrest on April 2, when Sherrick was charged after multiple 911 calls reported him riding a dirt bike with a 9-month-old child at Northford Park.
During the April incident, police say Sherrick fled from officers through the park while still holding the child and entered a wooded area owned by the Regional Water Authority after refusing to comply with commands.
For the April incident, Sherrick was charged with reckless endangerment, criminal trespass, interfering with an officer, and risk of injury to a minor.
Police have seized the dirt bikes in both incidents, which are being held pending the outcome of court proceedings.
Sherrick has already appeared in court for the April incident.
