ANSONIA - The Ansonia Police Department today arrested Roland Collier for his involvement in a July 16, 2021 motor vehicle accident on North Main Street and Third Street, Lt. Patrick Lynch said in a written release.

There was a male passenger in Collier’s vehicle who also fled the scene and has yet to be identified. Shortly after the accident, Collier was arrested in Massachusetts on unrelated charges and remained in custody there until today, Lynch said.

 

Collier, 49, of Ansonia was charged with assault first degree, reckless driving, engaging in pursuit, evading responsibility, reckless endangerment first degree and criminal mischief third degree. 

Collier is being held on a court set $70,000 bond and will be arraigned Tuesday in Derby Superior Court.
