A 19-year-old man who police allege ran over and seriously injured a former Northampton police officer with a stolen car in New Britain, Conn., was arrested Wednesday night in Vermont near the Canadian border and was being extradited to Connecticut.
The three-day manhunt for Jaheem Snype of New Britain ended with his capture at a friend’s home in Barton, Vt., as well as the arrest of his half-brother, Frankie Gonzalez, 23, of New Britain, at a relative’s home in Greensboro, Vt., by Vermont State Police.
Police allege Snype ran over New Britain Police Officer Brett T. Morgan and dragged him about 100 feet with a stolen car in that city late Sunday night. Morgan, 28, formerly of Huntington and Lee, Mass., worked for the Northampton Police Department for about two years before being hired by the New Britain Police Department in March 2013. He was seriously injured, has undergone multiple surgeries and remains hospitalized in Connecticut.
New Britain Police Chief James Wardwell said Morgan had been transferred out of an intensive care unit on Thursday and was doing “remarkably well” considering the severity of his injuries.
New Britain Mayor Erin E. Stewart issued a statement Wednesday night praising the law enforcement response.
“It is my hope that the coordinated, interstate response and tireless pursuit of this suspect will send a clear message that those who do violence against our law enforcement personnel will be brought to swift and harsh justice,” Stewart said.
Vermont State Police said they learned that Snype and Gonzalez, both fugitives from Connecticut, were possibly eluding law enforcement with family members in Vermont. Snype was wanted for assault, assault on a police officer, attempted murder and second-degree larceny. Gonzalez was wanted for hindering prosecution and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence. The warrants for their arrests resulted from Sunday’s incident in which police allege Snype drove the car that injured Morgan in Connecticut.
Vermont State Police obtained search warrants Wednesday and located Gonzalez in the hours before midnight at a relative’s home in Greensboro and then Snype at a friend’s home further north in Barton, which is about 20 miles from the Canadian border.
The search involved the Vermont State Police, New Britain Police Department, U.S. marshal’s office, FBI, U.S. Border Patrol and the Vermont National Guard. Police said both men were taken into custody without incident.
“The Vermont State Police … I really can’t say enough good things about them in a time of need for us,” Wardwell said.
Snype was being held at the Northeast Correction Facility in St. Johnsbury and is scheduled to be arraigned Friday in New Britain Superior Court along with Gonzalez. Both men waived extradition and were on their way to Connecticut Thursday. Snype was being held on a $1 million court bond and Gonzalez on a $200,000 court bond.
The New Britain Police Department and police union have established the Brett Morgan Benefit Fund to help Morgan and his family with expenses.
