West Haven police arrest 18-year-old Isaiah Burroughs after he allegedly threatened a woman with death and then led officers on a pursuit. The incident began when Burroughs sent a text message to the victim, who held a protective order against him, stating he would “shoot up her apartment.” Officers, responding to the woman’s call, located Burroughs’ vehicle but he fled, resulting in a chase that ended with his car becoming inoperable.
During the pursuit, officers discovered a ghost gun and a high-capacity magazine in Burroughs’ vehicle. He now faces multiple charges, including criminal possession of a pistol and violation of the protective order, alongside five active felony warrants for related domestic violence cases. The incident raises concerns about the handling of protective orders and illegal firearms in the community.
