STONINGTON, Conn. (AP) - An independent investigation has found that a white
couple accused of attacking a Black worker at a Connecticut hotel in June were
able to escape arrest at the scene by tricking Stonington police. The
investigation was ordered by town officials and released this week. It found
there was no malice or bias by officers who investigated the June 26 incident in
Mystic. Philip Sarner and Emily Orbay were arrested in July in Brooklyn, New
York, and returned to Connecticut. They face charges including assault and
intimidation based on bigotry and bias. A message seeking comment was left
Thursday with their attorney.
