WHITE PLAINS - Apparently unable to stop her friend from driving drunk, a city woman called police and had her arrested instead.


It happened about 5:30 a.m. Monday, when police received a call from a 23-year-old woman who said she had just had an argument with her friend near Lake Street and Stewart Place, and that the friend, whom she described as "very drunk,'' had just driven off in a sport utility vehicle


"She recognized a dangerous situation and did the right thing by calling us and preventing anyone from getting hurt,'' Deputy Public Safety Commissioner Daniel Jackson said of the witness.


The woman provided them with a partial license-plate number, police said, and moments later, police spotted the SUV, a 1994 Ford Explorer, swerving across several lanes of traffic on northbound North Broadway.


The SUV was stopped. The driver, Brigid Kieran, 25, of Greenwich, Conn., was charged with driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor.

GREENWICH - A Norwalk man who allegedly had three computers filled with images of child pornography faces felony charges after Greenwich Police discovered the pictures while investigating a separate crime.


Larcenio Brown, 37, of 51 Issac St., was arrested Saturday at his home on a warrant obtained after police ran a forensic computer search of his computers, which turned up the images, police said.


Detectives from the Criminal Investigations Division searched Brown's home after being arrested on charges of allegedly making threats to an ex-girlfriend and attempting to extort money from her, according to police. Brown also was arrested by Greenwich Police on Oct. 30 and charged with first-degree criminal attempt at larceny by extortion and threatening.


"A victim called to report harassment," said Lt. Daniel Allen, spokesman for the Greenwich Police Department. Allen said police seized the computers because they believed Brown was using them to send threats.


Brown, a native of Costa Rica, is a self-employed mechanic, according to a police report. He was charged with three counts of first-degree possession of child pornography and was held at Greenwich Police Headquarters until being taken to state Superior Court in Stamford on Monday, officials said. After his arraignment, Brown's bail was increased from $10,000 to $20,000.


Brown is being held at the Bridgeport Correctional Facility and is expected to enter a plea Feb. 6, officials said. ...
