Man Arrested for DUI, Wrong-Way Driving on I-91

0:00It's April 1st. From your city to your ears, this is Hartford News Today, powered by AI. Early Wednesday morning, a 55-year-old man from East Granby named Kyle Bishop got arrested for driving the wrong way on Interstate 91 while under the influence. Stayed troopers spotted him going against traffic and tried multiple times to pull him over, but he kept rolling for several miles. They finally stopped him near exit 47 East in Enfield, where they confirmed he was impaired by alcohol or drugs. This wasn't just a simple mix-up. His actions put everyone on that highway at serious risk. Bishop now faces a stack of heavy charges, including operating under the influence, reckless driving, disobeying an officer signal, evading, responsibility, wrong way driving on a divided highway, and first-degree reckless endangerment. That's the kind of combo that screams major danger to fellow drivers. He's being held on a $25,000 bond, and is due in Hartford Superior Court soon.
