WATERFORD — A New London man was arrested after police said he deliberately drove a Jeep into two vehicles at the Waterford Beach parking lot on October 10, according to WFSB and Patch accounts.
WFSB reported that officers received several 911 calls at 3:17 p.m. Witnesses told police that the man entered the Jeep and struck the vehicles intentionally. Officers took Ryan Ziolkowski, 53, into custody.
Both outlets list allegations including two counts of risk of injury to a minor, three counts of second-degree reckless endangerment, second-degree breach of peace, impaired driving, reckless driving and driving with a suspended license.
The accounts differ slightly in how they list protective-order allegations: Patch’s version identifies violation of a standing criminal protective order, while WFSB also lists a separate protective-order violation. This article does not resolve that difference by guessing or presenting a single exhaustive charging document.
Both reports describe a $1 million bond. WFSB identifies it as cash/surety, and Patch lists an October 13 court appearance. No current custody status or result of that appearance has been verified for this article.
The reports rely on police information rather than independent observations by this newsroom. They do not establish guilt, and no protected person or minor is identified here. An official court record is needed before the case’s subsequent disposition can be reported.
