Scavenger Hunt between Ridgefield & Wilton students leads to assault

On Wednesday, August 31 at 10:03pm, the Wilton Police Department was notified of an incident that occurred earlier in the evening at approximately 8:30 pm at the Athletic Stadium on Kristine Lilly Way. The incident involved several juveniles from the communities Wilton and Ridgefield, all believed to be students at their respective high schools. The incident began by Ridgefield High School students coming to Wilton to play a game of scavenger hunt. Because the game was publicized, Wilton students were aware that Ridgefield students would be coming to the football field. While at the field, an altercation occurred where a Ridgefield student was assaulted and later brought to Danbury Hospital by his parents for injuries suffered during the altercation.

The investigation is currently being investigated by the Wilton Police Youth Division and administrations at both Wilton and Ridgefield High School have been notified. There have been no arrests at this time and the investigation is open.

If anyone has any information concerning the incident, please call Officer Ross: 203-834-6260.
