SHELTON Mayor Mark Lauretti says he’s “dumbfounded” why prosecutors are not pursing criminal charges against two volunteer city firefighters who, according to a police report, have been accused of sexually and physically assaulting a woman.
Echo Hose Fire Capt. John Scollin and volunteer firefighter Matthew Perkowski who is also a Trumbull police sergeant were suspended last week pending an internal investigation into the alleged assault, which police said occurred on Sept. 6, 2020.
