State police arrested a rapper at Bradley Airport Friday morning after she refused to remove her headgear, according to state police, and the woman Tweeted that she is never going to Hartford again after she had to bail out of jail for wearing a bonnet at the airport.

Police said they responded to Bradley Airport at 6:02 a.m. Friday after receiving reports that a passenger was refusing to follow instructions from the TSA at the security checkpoint.

Kamaiyah Johnson, 26, of Marina Delray, California, was refusing to remove her head cover after it set off an alarm, so she was pulled aside and would not remove her headgear so it could be inspected, according to state police.

State police said they then told her that she would not be allowed to fly unless she did as TSA instructed.

Johnson refused and “began to use vulgar language,” refused to remove the headgear and was “aggressive with her language and body posture,” according to a report from state police.

As police tried to take her into custody, Johnson resisted arrest, according to police.

She was charged with interfering with an officer, resisting arrest and second-degree breach of peace.

Kamaiyah performed at Coachella this year and Paper listed her as one of the 10 rising artists not to miss at the music festival.

Bond was set at $5,000. She is due back in court on June 6.

The case against a man arrested by armed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at his San Diego County home earlier this week, which was captured on video, could be thrown out if the arrest is found unreasonable by a judge, according to his attorney.

A cell phone was recording when ICE agents stormed Alberto Alonso Hernandez’ National City home Tuesday morning and took him into custody. He was arrested on a federal warrant for reentering the country after being deported.

Agents used a crowbar to pry the front door open before others flooded the home with their guns drawn behind a riot shield.

Prior to that, Hernandez’ wife, Brianna Alonso, refused to let the federal agents inside of the family’s home until they showed her a warrant. She is seen in the video asking for the warrant multiple times, and at one point, one of the agents tells Alonso, "You’ve been watching too much movies."

The agent prying open the front door is heard telling her, "We will show you the order once we finish."

She said the agents stayed in front of the home for three hours when Hernandez refused to come out and at one point disconnected their electricity.

Parts of the incident were recorded by Hernandez's 11-year-old daughter who was inside the house, as well as neighbors filming from outside.

Hernandez’ attorney William Baker said that whether the arrest is lawful or not depends on a judge’s interpretation of several factors.

“For instance, they turned off the lights to the house, they were outside for hours," he said. "It’s unknown whether they properly announced themselves before they came in and broke in the door. They did not give the wife the arrest warrant even though she asked for it many times. They apparently took the phone away from the young girl and twisted her arms, and it seemed to be excessive force.”

ICE said the agents in Tuesday's raid followed the agency's training protocols and said agents had an arrest warrant from a federal judge

Baker said that Hernandez is now in criminal custody on a $20,000 bond. If he posts bail and is released from criminal custody, he’ll be detained again by ICE and sent to another detention center where he can post a second bail.

If a judge decides the arrest is unreasonable, he can grant a motion to suppress and the case would go away, Baker said.

The ACLU of Southern California has published a guide for anyone who is confronted by immigration agents at the door. The guide advises residents not to open the door, and to ask to see a warrant.

You can read the guidelines on the ACLU Southern California website or on the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial Counties website.

A car crashed into a fence in Windsor Friday morning.

Crews are close to reaching the midway point on a $1.6-million project to reduce the gas in the air over Manchester.

David Brown was driving home from work just before 8 p.m. Thursday when he was forced to detour off his usual route as police tape blocked sidewalks and streets near his South Side Chicago home. 

"I thought it was just a shooting or something cause that's what's happening out there," Brown said.

After pulling into his driveway, Brown called his wife to try to let her know he planned to walk back to the nearby crime scene in the Chatham neighborhood to see what happened. She never answered. 

Once there Brown got a phone call from his grandchild's daycare saying his "grandbaby" had not yet been picked up.

"I said, 'That's impossible, [my wife] went up there at 6 o clock,'" Brown, a minister, said he told the daycare. "They said 'Nope.' I said, 'Oh my God.'"

Brown rushed back to his home only to find his wife was not there. 

"That made me go back to the scene [again] and talk to the police and ask," he said. "I told them my wife might be missing. I thought maybe she had the grandbaby or something but I had to go pick her up."

At the scene, authorities said a woman had been struck and killed during a police chase. Brown was told he needed to go to the University of Chicago Medical Center. 

"They had four names," he said, tears streaming down his face. "Julia Callaway, they had it on a pad."

Callaway, 55, was hit by a car while walking on the 7900 block of South Lafayette Avenue less then a mile away from her home at around 5:33 p.m. Thursday, according to Chicago police and the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.

She was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center where she was pronounced dead at 6:36 p.m., officials said.

The grandmother, who leaves behind two daughters, was one of two people struck in the police chase, officials said. The other pedestrian hit was a 30-year-old man, who was treated at the scene.  

Police were attempting to conduct a traffic stop on a gray sedan near 81st Street and South Evans Avenue when the vehicle fled.

Neighbors said they heard a large boom, then saw a man and woman both lying on the ground. The car went on to hit an SUV a few blocks away.  

Three males jumped out of the car after it crashed and attempted to run away, according to police, but were taken into custody.

Officers said narcotics were recovered from inside the vehicle. Further details on the suspects' ages and identities were not immediately available and charges were pending.

Brown said his wife usually didn't walk down Lafayette to pick up their grandchild. 

"What made her go down Lafayette? I don't know," he said. 

The couple, who had been married for 17 years, were planning to go shopping Thursday night, an early Mother's Day gift, Brown said. 

"Now that money's being used to funeral services," he said. 

You could say Sharon St. Amand, of Waterbury, has been dealing with an identity crisis every time she opens her wallet. The last name on her driver’s license reads “Stamand,” and for decades, she’s been pleading with the Department of Motor Vehicles to correct it. After years of frustration, she turned to NBC Connecticut for help. 

At 64 years old, St. Amand has had her license since age 16. For nearly 50 years, she says, her last name has appeared without a space or period due to a typographical error and software limitations at the Connecticut DMV. 

“I said it’s S-t-period, capital A-m-a-n-d,” she said, recalling an exchange with a DMV employee in 2010. “And she said, well we can’t add a period. Our computers won’t allow us to add the period.” 

She tried asking the DMV to use a space instead, or even spell out Saint Amand. No dice. 

“[The clerk] said, I can’t do that because that’s not your name. … We have to spell it exactly the way it is on your birth certificate. I said it’s S-t-period [on my birth certificate]. She said, ‘and I told you we can’t put a period in.’ So I left DMV as Sharon Stamand once again.” 

Like many Connecticut residents, St. Amand uses her driver’s license as her primary form of identification. Aside from the sheer annoyance, Sharon said the discrepancy between her license surname and her legal surname has caused her some legitimate difficulties. It doesn’t match what’s on her social security card, birth certificate or other legal documents. She said that’s caused her problems registering to vote, using her health insurance and applying for credit cards. 

In 2015, the DMV implemented a $26 million software upgrade and Sharon hoped that would include a fix for the problem affecting her and other Connecticut residents with similar last names, but during a return visit for license renewal in January 2018, she left disappointed once again. 

“You can put a man on the moon, but you can’t put a period or a space on someone’s last name?” she said. 

So she called NBC Connecticut’s Connect-A-Thon in February and asked for help. Now, three months later, a solution appears to be on the way by early summer. 

The CT DMV sent the following statement to NBC Connecticut in response to our inquiries on St. Amand’s behalf: 

“We recognize that this limitation within our license system is an issue, and while it’s a relatively complicated fix, we have been proactively working on it for several months. Our license system does not allow a space to be typed in a person’s first or last name. We’re working on a modification to allow for this space and hope to have it done by early summer.

“We know that this limitation can cause issues for our customers and we are pleased to soon add more flexibility to our license system. This modification will allow a space in the first and last name fields so our license system more closely matches other identification documents we require customers to present when applying for a learner’s permit, driver’s license or ID card. This modification to allow for a space is being completed with existing resources and became easier to make after other changes were recently completed.

“To be clear, our license system has not been updated in many years and is not the same as our vehicle registration system, which was upgraded in 2015. Our license system is an older, pre-existing system that we hope to modernize in the near future.”

Sharon St. Amand was overjoyed to receive the update this week.

“Do you know I’ve been fighting and fighting and fighting with them for the longest time?” she said. “I have cousins who are St. Ange. They’re going to be so happy to no longer be ‘Stange’! Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

Impact on Travel:

NBC Connecticut reached out to the Transportation Security Administration for how such a name discrepancy might affect airline travelers.

In a statement to NBC Connecticut, TSA said:

“This is a list of all the various forms of ID that are acceptable for domestic air travel: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification

For any passenger without a valid ID there are still options to vet that individual and allow them to travel (from TSA.gov):

In the event you arrive at the airport without valid identification, because it is lost or at home, you may still be allowed to fly. The TSA officer may ask you to complete an identity verification process which includes collecting information such as your name, current address, and other personal information to confirm your identity. If your identity is confirmed, you will be allowed to enter the screening checkpoint. You may be subject to additional screening, to include a pat down and screening of carry-on property.

You will not be allowed to enter the security checkpoint if your identity cannot be confirmed, you chose to not provide proper identification or you decline to cooperate with the identity verification process. TSA recommends that you arrive at least two hours in advance of your flight time.”

Impact on Voter Registration:

We also checked with the Secretary of State’s office to find out how such discrepancies could affect notarized documents and voter registration. A spokesperson replied:

“Generally speaking, notaries do need current ID and they are told that if they are comfortable with the ID, meaning it is reasonable to believe that the person in front of you is who they purport to be, then it is ok.

“On the voter file side, we are able to handle names like that without the period by adding a space between the two surnames (in this case, for example, as St Amand) largely without issue.”

When White House Chief of Staff John Kelly said today’s undocumented immigrants are unable to assimilate easily into American society because they do not have skills and do not speak English, the criticism was swift, particularly given his own family history.

The father of Kelly’s maternal grandmother was a day laborer named John DeMarco who could not read, write nor speak English, according to a copy of a 1900 Census tweeted by journalist Jennifer Mendelsohn. He had been in the United States for 18 years at that point and was not a citizen.

The 1930 Census shows DeMarco still was not a citizen, and his wife, Crescenza, had been in the United States for 37 years and did not speak English, tweeted Mendelsohn, who has been searching the genealogical records of people inside the Trump administration and out.

Another of Kelly’s great-grandfathers, Giuseppe Pedalino, was a wagon driver, according to the 1910 Census. His second wife, Concetta, was illiterate and also could not speak English, 10 years after arrival, Mendelsohn tweeted.

Kelly’s comments were made during an interview with NPR’s John Burnett on "Morning Edition" Friday. Asked about the Trump administration’s policy of separating families who cross the border illegally and prosecuting them, Kelly answered: "Let me step back and tell you that the vast majority of the people that move illegally into the United States are not bad people. They're not criminals. They're not MS-13."

He added, "But they're also not people that would easily assimilate into the United States, into our modern society. They're overwhelmingly rural people. In the countries they come from, fourth-, fifth-, sixth-grade educations are kind of the norm. They don't speak English; obviously, that's a big thing .... They don't integrate well; they don't have skills."

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment about whether Kelly believed his family had integrated well or whether he held today’s immigrants to a different standard.

In the interview, Kelly said he sympathized with the reason undocumented immigrants came to the United States but said, "the laws are the laws."

Kelly’s critics eagerly pointed to their family’s circumstances and accomplishments and began tweeting under the hashtag "HeyJohnKelly."

Chris Lu, a deputy secretary of labor under President Barack Obama, tweeted that his father came from rural China and spoke little English.

"He raised a son who held the same rank in the Obama WH (Asst. to the Pres.) that Kelly holds,” he wrote. “I’d say we did okay."

Michael Skotnicki, a lawyer and former Alabama Supreme Court staff attorney, tweeted that all four of his grandparents were uneducated Polish and Slavic serfs. His Polish grandmother, who lived in Cleveland, arrived in the U.S. about 1910 and died 70 years later without ever speaking English, he wrote. She had two sons who enlisted in the U.S. Army in World War II, including his father who served as a staff sergeant.

"My generation has produced a doctor, engineer, dentist, attorney and many other college-educated professionals," he wrote.

Sen. Mazie Hirono, the Democrat from Hawaii, tweeted that she grew up on a rice farm in rural Japan and arrived in Hawaii not speaking a word of English.

"John Kelly, you don't understand how immigrants have built our country," she wrote.

This was not the first time Kelly has made controversial comments about immigrants. In February, he said of young people who did not sign up for DACA or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which offers protection from deportation: "the people that some would say were too afraid to sign up, others would say were too lazy to get off their asses."

A 2008 study in Wisconsin questioned the idea that early immigrants learned English quickly. A University of Wisconsin professor, Joseph Salmons, looked at German immigrants to the state from 1839 to the 1930s and found that they seemed to thrive for decades speaking only German.

The Anti-Defamation League noted that immigrants are twice as likely to start businesses as those born in the United States, and that the companies they own are more likely to hire employees. States with large numbers of immigrants report lower unemployment.

Immigrants pay between $90 and $140 billion each year in taxes, it wrote, with undocumented immigrants paying more than $11.8 billion in taxes in 2012. More than half of all undocumented immigrant households file income tax returns.

And a study from the American Immigration Council found that a higher number of immigrants was associated with lower crime rates, that immigrants were less likely to be behind bars and that immigrants were less likely to engage in criminal behavior.

Speaking on the Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC, New York City's public radio station, New York City Bill de Blasio noted that the city's new schools chancellor, Richard Carranza, grew up speaking Spanish, the grandson of immigrants from Mexico.

"My grandfather Giovanni, my grandmother Anna came from very small towns, absolutely rural, in impoverished southern Italy, around 100 years ago, with no ability to speak English and very limited skills and they absolutely lived the American dream," de Blasio said. "And their grandson is the mayor of this city." 

"Let's get real about this," he said. "Are we a city of immigrants and a nation of immigrants, or not?"

Mendelsohn herself tweeted that neither of her Latvian grandparents, an illiterate homemaker and a shoemaker, spoke English. She added a copy of her grandparents’ immigration records.

"My brothers have PhDs from Princeton and Stanford. See how that works, John Kelly?" she wrote.

Of Kelly’s comments, she said, "This is just another example of the selective amnesia and romanticizing many Americans engage in about their immigrant pasts. Every generation of immigrants has looked askance at the next and feared they couldn't properly assimilate and contribute. Kelly's comments are just the latest example."

In 1906, Theodore Roosevelt was president. The first forward pass was introduced to the game of football and Ford was still two years away from producing the first "Model T." Times have certainly changed since the early 1900s and there's only one man in America who can say he's witnessed it all.

Sitting on his front porch at his East Austin home, like he does every day, Richard Overton puffs on his cigar.

"You're smoking like a freight train now, " jokes Martin Wilford, as he reaches in to keep Overton's cigar lit with his lighter. "You OK right there, Pop?"

"Oh yes, " said Overton. "I'm still living."

Wilford and Overton spend a lot of time together on the front porch.

They first met at church in East Austin. 

"He used to run around with my uncles, " Wilford explained.  "He outlived all my uncles, all my aunts, he's the only one. We became friends and now our relationship is like father and son."

At 112, Overton is believed to be the oldest man in America, as well as the nation's oldest veteran.

"And the ugliest, " joked Overton. "You are so right. I'm the oldest. That's the reason I'm so mean, I'm ugly."

His sense of humor is overshadowed by his worst habit. Those cigars.

"One day I decided, I'm going to smoke a cigar," he explained. "I was 18-years-old and been smoking cigars ever since."

He smokes up to 18 a day.

"But I don't inhale them," Overton added. "Don't ever inhale the cigar, it'll tear your heart all to pieces.

"When you've lived this long, you know a thing or two about heartache.

"I had six sisters in the family and four brothers. They're all dead. Nobody's living but me," he said.

Overton never had kids, and his wife Wilma died more than 30 years ago.

"Everything was hard but you go ahead and do it," he said. "It ain't going to hurt you."

He's a human time capsule.

"Some days I worked for 25 cents," he said. "You believe that? That's way back yonder, 25 cents!"

He served 5 years in the army, with an all-black engineer battalion, in the south Pacific, during WWII.

"Yes, I remember those days, " he said. "I had a gun that weighed nine pounds."

He's seen things that he never imagined could happen. Like the day Mr. Obama became our 44th president.

"I done everything," he said with a smile. "God didn't give you the energy. He gave it to me."

These days, his energy is waning.

"I don't have no kinda trouble. I'm just weak. I gotta try to get all my energy back," he said.

He lives at home, in the same house he bought back in the in the 1940s on a street now named after him — Richard Overton Ave.

A team of nurses provides 24-hour medical care, but it's expensive. "About $15,000 a month, " Wilford said.

His friends have set up a GoFundMe account.

Time slowly takes its toll, but it seems time has always been on Richard Overton's side.

"You'll never meet another one," said Wilford. "I don't think I will either."

It's prom season and two fast food chains outside Boston have taken to social media to engage in the Internet's most talked about promposal this season.

Burger King and Wendy's are prom dates, according to the Burger King billboard in Lynn, Massachusetts, posted to social media on Tuesday. 

"Prom?"

The one-word question was all it took. 

Wendy's responded to Burger King by posting a billboard reply: "Ok, but don’t get handsy and we have to be home by 10."

"She said yes!" Burger King's next billboard read. 

The home of the Whopper later tweeted: "Let’s aim for king and queen of prom."

The new couple received well wishes on social media.

"Nothing like the King with his Queen @Wendys," @ShfitingSoul tweeted. 

Police are investigating a home invasion on Route 87 in Columbia Friday.

According to the Columbia Resident State Trooper’s office, the home invasion occurred at a residence on Route 87 by the lake. There is a large police presence in the area.

Police said there is no immediate danger to the public.

Anyone with video surveillance in the area is asked to contact the resident state trooper’s office.

No other details were immediately available. The investigation is ongoing.

NBC Connecticut has confirmed a school district investigation is underway in New Britain after two students brought weapons to the Frank DiLoreto Magnet School in mid-April. School sources have questions about how the incident was handled by the principal.

The NBC Connecticut Troubleshooters obtained a copy of the letter that was sent to fourth-grade families by the principal of the school; Alejandro Ortiz. It states two fourth grade boys were immediately suspended after bringing a box cutter and knife to school.

But sources familiar with the situation said there’s much more to the story.

The boys’ plan, according to sources, was to harm students and staff, with a specific threat on one female teacher.

“I’m in shock, the school isn’t known for any of that,” New Britain parent Edna Ramos told NBC Connecticut.

Ramos didn’t know anything about the incident or the letter. There’s no date on the notice, but two sources familiar with the situation said the incident happened on Tuesday April 17, 2018, and the letter went home a week later on April 24, 2018.

The students were initially suspended for three days, but sources said after a meeting at school, it was changed to an eight day suspension. According to district policy bringing these kinds of weapons to school is a felony and is subject to expulsion.

Ramos said she is shocked. “I know they didn’t have a shut down or anything," she said.

Ramos’ 6-year-old daughter is in kindergarten. Ramos now has questions for those in charge at school.

“They should’ve just notified everyone, not just the fourth grade, fourth grade, first grade, second grade and kindergarten all those kids walk through the same halls,” Ramos added.

Sources said the principal had no plans of notifying impacted staff after the incident or calling police or the Department of Children and Families.

Sources told NBC Connecticut it was a teacher who first contacted DCF and police two days after the incident, adding “It was not handled appropriately or in a timely manner and lives were at stake. The kids are terrified and unfocused and it is not a healthy atmosphere.”

New Britain Police said they were called April 19th. Officers investigated a threat and it was turned over to the youth division here at police headquarters. Officers followed up with the families and determined everyone was safe at the time.

New Britain superintendent Nancy Sarra declined an on camera interview. In a statement, Sarra told NBC Connecticut “our primary goal is to ensure the safety of all New Britain students and staff. We are currently in the process of an internal investigation and are working to bring it to a close as soon as possible.”

Parents we spoke with are divided in their feelings about how this was handled. While some were upset, others told us they’re satisfied with the response and trust how the principal dealt with the situation.

Sixth grade dad Phil Lewis didn’t realize anything happened until we showed him the letter.

“I know the kids were probably dealt with,” Lewis stated.

NBC Connecticut has tried to speak with Principal Ortiz by phone and email and has not heard back.

Three school board members for the district told us they had not been made aware of the incident. District officials expect an update next week.

Eric Gilbert’s $17,000 window project didn’t turn out quite the way he pictured it.

In September 2017, the Bristol man signed a contract and put down half the payment for a sliding glass door and three replacement windows.

When the installer came back to do the job six weeks later, Gilbert said he noticed the measurements were off. As a result, Gilbert said the frame was wider than he wanted.

The roof on the bay window was also a different color than the roof on the rest of the house.

Gilbert said he called the company multiple times to work out a resolution. The company told NBC Connecticut it offered to order new window products for him.

Communications between the two parties broke down and Gilbert’s account ended up in collections for the $9,000 balance.

At an impasse, Gilbert called NBC Connecticut Responds to sort out the problem.

After we got involved, the company offered Gilbert a new payment plan, reducing his balance to $2,000.

An Ansonia man needed the NBC Connecticut Responds team to help track down the deck furniture he bought back in the fall.

Donald Day said the store offered to hold the $308 set for him to pick up in the spring.

“When I got there, I saw that the store had closed,” Day said.

Day said he called the company’s corporate office with no result.

So he turned to Responds. Our consumer team was able to get ahold of a company representative, and put him in touch with Day.

The rep arranged to have the furniture delivered to Day’s home.

He was fortunate that even though the store closed, it was part of a chain that has other locations.

Day is now ready to enjoy the spring and summer on his deck.

If you have an unfulfilled order with a business that shuts down, write a letter to the company. Their mail is most likely being forwarded.

You can also file a dispute with your credit card company within 60 days of the purchase.

A pack of coyotes is roaming a neighborhood in Columbia, and police are warning residents to be on alert.

According to the Columbia Resident State Trooper’s Office, a resident reports that the pack has been spotted in the Szegda Road and Szegda Farm area. One particularly large coyote has killed at least two chickens and has been spotted walking up to people’s doors, according to the report.

Authorities warned residents walking in the area of be on alert and keep dogs on leashes.

It is not uncommon for coyotes to attack and kill pets, especially cats and small dogs, according to the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. Coyotes are also known to attack smaller livestock, though usually do not threaten cattle or horses. Coyote are more active at night, but may be active during daylight.

Coyote attacks on humans are unusual.

If you encounter a coyote, experts advise trying to scare it away by making loud noises and waving your arms or throwing sticks.

Two people are dead after a head-on crash on Route 44 (New Hartford Road) in Barkhamsted Friday, according to fire officials.

Pleasant Valley Volunteer Fire Assistant Chief Shawn Wainman confirmed two people were killed in the crash, which is near the Barkhamsted-New Hartford line. A third person was airlifted to the hospital and their condition was not immediately clear.

Pleasant Valley Chief James Shanley said the vehicles involved were both commercial trucks.

"One looks like a landscape contractor, the other is a plumber type contractor," Shanley said.

LifeStar was tied up during the incident, so helicopters from New York were called in.

"The two helicopters came from New York Lifenet. Frequently we use them as backup when LifeStar is tied up," Shanley explained.

Shalney said he does not believe that affected response time.

Route 44 was closed between Route 181 and Route 219 for hours.

National concerns about police use of force have been renewed after a police officer from North Carolina was caught on camera choking a black man at a Waffle House restaurant, NBC News reported.

Widely-viewed cellphone video shows 22-year-old Anthony Wall being choked by a white police officer. He was then slammed to the pavement by the officer, and can be heard yelling "Get your hands off of me!" and "Get your supervisor out here!" 

The local police department said it is continuing to interview witnesses and gather additional video as part of a wider investigation into the incident. The Onslow County District Attorney also said his office is investigating the incident, and has asked the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation to assist. 

Wall was charged with disorderly conduct in public as well as resisting, obstructing and delaying a law enforcement officer. He was released following the incident. It is unclear what led to the altercation between Wall and workers at the restaurant. Waffle House said in a statement that it is looking into the arrest to "gather all the facts." 

President Donald Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, said Saturday that the president did not intervene in the Justice Department's decision to block the AT&T- Time Warner merger — walking back earlier comments appearing to suggest that Trump did.

Giuliani told NBC News Saturday that Trump said he "was against that merger when [he] ran."

The former New York City mayor added that the president was out of the loop on Michael Cohen's consulting deal with AT&T. The telecom giant paid Cohen, who had served as Trump's personal lawyer until recently, $600,000 for help with “insights” into the president’s thinking. Giuliani said Trump told him he "had no knowledge at all of the payment to Cohen."

The president also told him that he had "no idea" of the influence Cohen claimed to have in his business contracts and that Cohen "certainly never lobbied" him, according to Giuliani.

Four people were injured in a serious crash in Norwalk late Friday night.

Emergency crews responded to the head-on crash on Winfield Street just before midnight, according to fire officials.

A 2007 Honda and a 2007 Mercedes collided, trapping both drivers inside.

Firefighters worked for 15 minutes to remove the driver of the Honda, but it took them about 45 minutes to free the driver of the Mercedes, fire officials said.

Both drivers, described as young females, were taken to the hospital with what were called non-life threatening injuries.

One passenger from each car was transported to the hospital for minor injuries.

The accident remains under investigation.

A Stratford man was killed in a motorcycle crash on I-95 in Norwalk early Saturday morning.

According to police, 30-year-old Alonzo Tribble was riding his motorcycle in the northbound lanes of I-95 in Norwalk just after 4 a.m. when he lost control near Exit 17.

Tribble was thrown from the motorcycle and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

A box truck and a car were damaged after striking the motorcycle in the highway, but no one else was injured.

Firefighters responded to a fire at the M & R Frosted Food Company in West Haven on Saturday morning.

The fire broke out in the building at 168 Peabody Street sometime around 7:30 a.m.

Crews from the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection also responded to the scene to investigate whether any chemicals were involved.

After investigating, they determined there were no issues with chemicals.

M&R has been in business in West Haven for 50 years, according to the owner. The company delivers food for school lunch programs in Connecticut.

Company workers were last in the building at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, according to fire officials.

Investigators said they don't believe the fire was intentionally set, but they are still looking for the cause.

No one was injured.
