DANBURY — A Bethel woman was arrested July 29 after police say she followed a federal agent’s vehicle through the city in an unsafe manner, running three red lights and tailgating recklessly.
The Danbury Police Department responded to a call for assistance from the federal agent shortly before noon.
The driver was later identified as Cynthia Behrends of Bethel.
When officers conducted a traffic stop, Behrends failed to comply with several requests for basic information, including her license and registration.
She refused to roll down her window to speak with officers.
Two supervisors and a commander responded to the scene.
Officers continued to try and reason with Behrends for nearly 30 minutes without success.
With the assistance of the Danbury Fire Department, they forced entry into the vehicle and took her into custody without further incident.
No injuries were reported.
Behrends was processed at Danbury Police Headquarters and released.
