Just read this in the Union News New England Briefs:
West haven, Conn. - Police made a motor vehicle stop near the town beach
that was anything but routine.
Philip Roklen, 51, of Woodbridge, was pulled over Saturday while driving his
antique military vehicle that came complete with a cannon and three machine
guns. The weapons didn't work, bout police and bystanders didn't know it.
"It's not a normal occurrence on our beautiful shoreline," said police
spokesman Dominic Vinci. Police later learned that Roklen collects vintage
military vehicles - such as tanks and jeeps. His ride near the town beach
had some folks thinking they were under invasion, said Vinci. Roklen was
charged with operating an unregistered and uninsured vehicle, breach of
peace and displaying a fake firearm."
I did not make this up! Does anybody know Philip? Is he on this list? Would
like to know more about what happened! Anybody know more about this?
