Jan. 6—An 18-year-old Norwich man is accused of ramming a stolen septic truck into a state police cruiser in North Stonington on Friday.
State police were dispatched at approximately 5 p.m. to the area of 136 Norwich Westerly Road for a disturbance after a woman had called 911 and reported an altercation with her son, identified by police as Donovan Beard.

He was being held on a $100,000 bond and is due to be arraigned Monday in New London Superior Court.
