KILLINGLY, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut police say a man rushed through a funeral ceremony while trying to elude officers who were seeking to arrest him on assault charges.
Connecticut State Police say 44-year-old Bart Donnelly of Danielson has been charged with disrupting a funeral and third-degree assault, among other offenses.
Officials say a person flagged down an off-duty trooper Friday and told the trooper about an assault at a park.
Police say Donnelly fled on foot from the park and ran through a funeral home property where a ceremony was taking place. Police say he was later captured.
Donnelly is being held on $3,000 cash bond. It was not immediately clear on Saturday whether he has an attorney.
