WILTON — A Wilton man faces a charge of reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon after the truck he was riding in crashed on Route 2 on Sunday.
Michael Dalot, 58, was an intoxicated passenger in a truck driven by a relative, Brian Dalot, Wilton police Chief Heidi Wilcox said. Michael Dalot pulled on the wheel and refused to let go, causing the 1998 Dodge Dakota pickup to cross into the oncoming lane, go over an embankment and strike a tree, she said.
No one was injured, but it was a very dangerous situation, she said.
Michael Dalot was arrested and taken to Franklin County Detention Center in Farmington.
