Groton — The saga of a former Hartford police officer, who was arrested twice last week, continued over the weekend as he was charged by both Groton Town and Stonington police in boating related incidents.

As of late Sunday afternoon, the 30-foot sailboat owned by Kenneth Elyosius, 62, of Bristol, was moored in Stonington Harbor.

Stonington police said that about 7 p.m. on Saturday, they received a report that Elyosius was causing a disturbance on his boat near Mystic Seaport. When Groton Town Police apprehended him a short time later at Noank Shipyard and charged him with breach of peace, Stonington police responded and charged him with breach of peace and first-degree trespass in conjunction with the Mystic Seaport incident.

On Sunday morning, Stonington police said Elyosius was involved in a disturbance in Groton Town waters just outside the Mystic River. After the Coast Guard intercepted his boat, Stonington police brought Elyosius ashore and turned him over to Groton Town police to be charged. The boat was towed to Stonington Harbor.

Last Tuesday, Elyosius was arrested in Mystic after police said he anchored his 30-foot boat in the channel of the Mystic River just south of the drawbridge, refused to move and shouted obscenities at other boaters.

A day later, he was charged in New London with first-degree trespass, breach of peace and refusal to submit to fingerprints, after police said he went to Hot Rod Cafe, where he had been previously warned to stay out, and told an employee that when he saw the business owner he was going to kill him.

Elyosius appeared in court last Wednesday and Thursday. On Thursday, Judge Omar Williams set his bond at $5,000, and said the conditions of Elyosius’ release, in addition to those he was given on Wednesday, were that he undergo mental health and alcohol evaluations and follow up with any treatment recommendations made, have no contact with Roderick Cornish, owner of Hot Rod Cafe, stay out of Hot Rod’s and New London Ink, and remove his boat from its present location and dock it at a lawful place.

Elyosius is the same man who docked his boat overnight alongside the swimming raft at Dubois Beach at Stonington Point early last month, prompting calls from concerned residents worried the boat would tear the raft loose, causing it to wash ashore. Stonington Police told The Day last week that they had dealt with Elyosius on several recent occasions and issued him trespassing warnings as he became an “unwanted guest” at marinas and establishments along Mystic River and Stonington Harbor.

Elyosius has multiple convictions in Connecticut for impersonating a police officer, drunken driving, violation of probation and other charges. In 2003 he was convicted of assaulting a Bristol police officer, and in 1997 he was charged with assaulting two Manchester police officers. The results of that case could not be determined. In past cases, his attorneys were quoted in media reports as saying Elyosius had problems with alcohol abuse.
