    Groton City police arrest two after fight in bar parking lot

    Groton — City police arrested two men Friday after a reported fight in the parking lot of Richoni’s bar on Poquonnock Road.

    According to police, a bartender called police about 10:02 p.m. to report that there was a fight in the parking lot of the bar at 224 Poquonnock Road, and someone had pulled a knife. When police arrived, they discovered the suspect had left in a dark-colored vehicle.

    A little while later, police located the vehicle and pulled it over at Tom Street and Poquonnock Road. The passenger, Andre T. Washington, 41, of Barkhamsted, then told police he was the one who pulled a knife on people. He was charged with two counts of second-degree breach of peace, two counts of threatening, and two counts of second-degree reckless endangerment.

    Police charged the driver of the car, Jordan P. Henneberry, 21, of Torrington, with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

    Washington and Henneberry are scheduled to appear in New London Superior Court on Nov. 22.
