Daniel Moard, 54, of Hebron, was found guilty of operating under the influence by a Rockville Superior Court jury October 6, according to an October 9 announcement from the Tolland Judicial District state’s attorney.
Judge Tejas Bhatt imposed six months of incarceration, with execution suspended, and 18 months of probation. The release describes the conviction as a first-offender case; the suspended sentence should not be described as six months already served.
Trial evidence concerned an October 11, 2024 one-car crash into a fence in a Hebron supermarket parking lot, the prosecutor’s office said.
Connecticut State Police Troop K investigated, with assistance credited to state scientific-services personnel and a South Windsor police sergeant. Assistant State’s Attorneys Sarah E. Jones and Jennifer Fields prosecuted.
The October announcement reports a verdict and sentence, rather than a new arrest. This account relies on the prosecutor’s public release; no subsequent appeal or probation development has been verified.
