After an April 11th burglary of a Westport home that stole $60,000 worth of jewelry, and the subsequent April 17th arrest of three men connected to the break-in, one suspect was arrested again this week after failing to appear to his original April court date. He posted $100,000 bond after his initial arrest, but after missing his court date days later, he was held on over half-a-million dollars bond by Westport police detectives this week.
