Officer Andrew Barone Charged with Assault

WILTON

A town police officer arrested in February by Central Connecticut State University police resigned Tuesday.

Andrew Barone, 23, was arrested Feb. 3 and charged with second-degree assault and three counts of third-degree computer crime in regard to a campus incident.

"He has resigned and is no longer a part of the department," Capt. Michael Lombardo said. "We're disappointed anytime we lose an officer under circumstances like this."

Barone had been on administrative leave since Feb. 13, Lombardo said. He had been on the force for just more than a year. Lombardo did not comment as to whether Barone, a Trumbull resident, was asked to resign.
