Much of Fair Haven fell in darkness after a car crashed into a utility pole at Ferry Street and Grand Avenue Monday at 8:55 p.m.

And a man who showed up at Police Headquarters to bail out his uncle was swindled by an imposter bail bondsman. He showed up at the police station and was approached by a man who asked if he needed a bail bondsman. The man said yes. The “bail bondsman” popped into the state marshal’s office, emerged and asked for $380. The two traveled together to the ATM inside the PD. The man withdrew the money and gave it to the “bondsman,” who popped back into the office, said “you’re all set,” and took off.
