Truck Tow Leads To Arrest

On March 8th 2013 Worcester County Sheriff's Office Deputies responded to the area of Porters Crossing and US Route 113 to assist a motorist who had gotten his 2013 Ford Truck stuck in a ditch with engine area of the vehicle submerged.

While the vehicle was being pulled out of the ditch and loaded on to tow truck, Deputies observed the owner of the vehicle identified as Brett A Baczek, 27, from Connecticut, was wearing a gun holster on his right hip.  Further investigation revealed Mr. Baczek was carrying a loaded handgun and what appeared to be cocaine. Mr. Baczek was arrested and charged with possession of a handgun and possession of a controlled dangerous substance.

Mr. Baczek was seen by a Commissioner and released on his own Recognizance.
