HARTFORD, Conn. โ State Rep. Robin Comey of Branford was handcuffed by police after a rollover crash on Capitol Avenue in Hartford.
House Democrats confirmed Comey was involved in the crash and was taken into Hartford police custody Thursday evening.
Police sources say she was charged with Driving Under the Influence.
The crash happened between Lawrence and Babcock Street, just a little over two blocks from the Legislative Office Building and the State Capitol Complex. The car involved appeared to hit at least one parked vehicle, before landing on its roof.
The car involved had Comey's state legislative license plate indicating her 102nd House district. A FOX 61 crew witnessed the aftermath of the crash. Rep. Comey is seen taking a field sobriety test. The test is halted, and Comey is then handcuffed.
It is not clear if any charges have been filed at this time. We have also not heard from officials about any injuries. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
Comey is a Democratic representative and member of the House leadership, serving as Assistant Majority Whip, a position typically charged with gathering and counting votes on various bills.
