Westport Man Arrested for Fourth Time; This time: for Stealing Neighbor’s Cat

On January 20th, 2023 Westport Police initiated an investigation after a complaint was made by a neighbor of James Doyle that he had allegedly stolen her cat.  The neighbor stated that Mr. Doyle has allegedly been trying to “lure” her cat into his residence for some time now and she has repeatedly told him to leave her cat alone.  Mr. Doyle was seen by neighbors trying to lure the cat into his residence and alerted the complainant.  The complainant again expressed her wishes that Mr. Doyle leave the cat alone when he allegedly picked up the cat, displayed his middle finger, and took the cat inside his residence.  Westport Police were called and found Mr. Doyle sitting on his front porch and admitted to taking the cat but had since released it.  Mr. Doyle was arrested for the above referenced crime and released on a $1000 bond with a court date of January 31st at Stamford Superior Court.

The Students of the Month award program recognizes students who help make Staples High School a welcoming place for their peers and teachers alike.  They are the “glue” of the Staples community: the type of kind, cheerful, hard-working, trustworthy students that keep the high school together, making it the special place that it is.

Students of the month are nominated by their teachers, who are asked to think of those students who come to school regularly, are friendly to the staff and to fellow students, and make positive contributions in class as well as the Staples community. In short, these students are all-around good citizens of our school.  Students of the Month are not necessarily star athletes, high honor students, or lead performers, and even if they are, this award recognizes the positive attitude they bring to school every day in making Staples High School a genial place in which to learn and teach.
