Incident Overview

In a bizarre turn of events, a driver in Connecticut has been arrested for allegedly driving the wrong way on an interstate to steal items from a crash scene. This incident took place on April 7, when authorities received an alert from the wrong-way detection system on the I-84 Westbound at Exit 42.

Details of the Incident

Upon reviewing surveillance footage, police noticed a vehicle that appeared to be backing off the off-ramp. The driver was seen exiting the vehicle and heading towards the crash site, where several items had been scattered across the road due to a previous roll-over involving a tractor-trailer.

The quick response of the Connecticut State Police allowed them to locate the driver, identified as 51-year-old Marcus King. Investigators reported finding numerous items belonging to the rolled-over truck in his possession.

Legal Actions and Next Steps

Following his apprehension, King was charged with several offenses, including driving the wrong way and larceny. He has since been released on a $10,000 bond and is scheduled for a court appearance at Hartford Superior Court later this month.
