Stamford, CT – On Thursday, patrol officers from Squad “B” responded to an incident at a McDonald’s located at 1103 East Main Street. The officers were dispatched due to a collision involving a BMW sedan and a scooter, with reports indicating that the BMW fled west on East Main Street.

Authorities used surveillance cameras to trace the vehicle’s path and searched the area around Clark Hill Road. The officers found the silver BMW with damage consistent with the accident in the parking lot of 821 East Main Street. The suspect, identified as Jarrell Grant, born on August 20, 2003, was discovered in the driver’s seat.
