Apprehension of Ryan Champlin.
EAST HAVEN, CT (01/23/2018): The East Haven Police Department was dispatched to a home after being notified by East Haven Fire Department Personnel that they were on scene of a serious domestic violence assault. Upon officer’s arrival, it was determined that a 59 year old female had just been assaulted by her son later identified as Ryan Champlin, (D.O.B. 07/20/1983) who then fled the residence. The victim advised officers on scene that she got into an argument with her son because he does not pay to live with them at their residence. The victim advised officers that while she was being assaulted by her son, she attempted to call 911, but was unable to do so because Champlin pushed her to the ground. The victim advised officers that she was able to run into her bedroom and lock the door, but Champlin forced his way into her locked bedroom by kicking it open, grabbed the cordless phone from her and struck her in the back of the head with it several times, breaking the phone. He then fled the residence. After speaking with officers, the victim was transported to the hospital with serious but non- life-threatening injuries.
After leaving the victim’s residence, a search for Champlin ensued. While searching for him, officers received a tip that Champlin had been dropped off at the Old Stone Church, 251 Main Street, East Haven, CT. Officers made contact with church employees who were not sure if Champlin was inside, but invited them in to look for him. A search of the church and attached day care resulted in finding Champlin hiding in an upstairs office. Champlin was taken into custody without further incident.
While on scene at the Old Stone Church, and with Champlin already in custody, a pastor arrived and blocked in the police cruiser that Champlin was in and demanded that officers release him to her custody. She advised officers that they had no right to arrest him within the interior of the church, even if it was for felony domestic violence charges. Officers advised her that Champlin was wanted for violent felony domestic violence charges and could not be released at that time. The pastor, who was extremely irate, proceeded to attempt to get in front of the police cruiser when an officer attempted to drive away with Champlin, but was stopped from doing so by another officer on scene. During this, officers exercised excellent discretion and de-escalated the situation.
It should be noted that the Old Stone Church runs a day care called the Old Stone Playschool out of the same building as the church. When Champlin entered the church, he had access to the entire interior of the church, including the day care area which, at the time appeared to only be occupied by teachers. We do not believe Champlin came in contact with any children.
While the East Haven Police Department respects the sanctity of a church, we also owe it to victims of domestic violence to apprehend suspects who commit violent felony assaults. Officers were also cognizant of the fact that children attending day care might have been exposed to a fleeing felony suspect within the interior of the church. We feel that the decision to enter the church was the correct one in this particular situation.
Champlin was transported to the East Haven Police Department where he was processed. Champlin was charged with Assault in the Second Degree, Interfering with an Emergency Call, Disorderly Conduct, and Criminal Mischief in the Third Degree. He is being held on a $25,000.00 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on 01/24/2018 at G.A. 23, 121 Elm Street, New Haven, CT.
