Accused hit-and-run driver Robert Park was in court today, where a judge lowered his bond to $95,000. Read WTIC's account here to get details.
This was apparently in the arrest warrant -- which the police have yet to send me:
About an hour after the crash, police say three officers found Park asleep in a bedroom, and smelled alcohol on his breath. After they woke him up, he fell over several times, as he tried to take a lighter out of his pocket. Police say Park could not make complete sentences, and slurred his words. A blood alcohol test was more than three times the legal limit.
Police say Park threatened suicide, when they told him he had killed a teenager.
