DARIEN -- Ben Malloy, the 21-year-old son of Stamford Mayor Dannel Malloy, turned himself in to Darien police Wednesday evening after learning they had a warrant for his arrest in connection with an attempted robbery over drugs.

Ben Malloy and two other suspects are charged with trying to rob marijuana early Tuesday from a 19-year-old Darien man at his home on Old King's Highway North.

He has been stymied from running for the only office besides attorney general that interests him, a U.S. Senate seat, by Connecticut's two long-serving senators, Christopher J. Dodd and Jospeph I. Lieberman.
Blumenthal's decision leaves at least a three-way race for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination -- with still others considering entering the contest.
James A. Amann of Milford, the former House speaker, formed a candidate committee in December and will announce his candidacy on Feb. 11.
Stamford Mayor Dannel P. Malloy, who lost a close Democratic gubernatorial primary in 2006, and Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz say they intend to form exploratory committees soon......

In a prepared statement issued this morning, Mayor Malloy lauded Blumenthal as a friend and as someone who has "made Connecticut a safer place to live". Malloy has stated in the past that he was interested in running for Governor but would only consider it only if Blumenthal said no for next year. Now that has happened, Stamford's chief manager went to to say in his statement that "the only other job I'd be interested in pursuing is Governor." Malloy says he will be speaking again on the topic tomorrow......
