Driver in custody after running over firefighter, injuring others, in New Britain, police say

A driver who police said ran over a firefighter who arrived to help after he passed out behind the wheel in New Britain is due in court next week following his recent arrest.

William T. Jones, 42, of Landers Avenue in New Britain, also injured two medics during the November incident, police said. He was arrested last week on six sets of charges, some of which are connected to the chaotic assault and some of which are not.

Jones’ 17 charges include first-degree assault and three counts of assault on an emergency medical technician. He is scheduled to appear in Superior Court in New Britain Wednesday.
