Pistol Stolen at Heliport Store Used Against Bridgeport Police A revolver which he alleg- edly stole , along with about $200 in cash , from Hawkins ' Confectionery store in Bellport two weeks ago , is \ said by po- lice to have led to the undoin g of John Rusinski , aged 25/ of Jamaica , who now faces five separate felony charges in Connecticut. The arrest of Rusinski on Sunday morning, after he had shot a Bridge- port , Conn., policeman and fired at several Connecticut State troopers , has solved four burglaries in Brook- haven town , according to Police Chief Edward N. Bridge on his return last night from Bridgeport , where he questioned Rusinski. Rusinski , alias John Rosa , an un- employed plumber , is 25 years of age and - single. A native of River - hea d , he lives at 90-19 170th street , Jamaica , and has a record of many conflicts with the * law during the last 14 years , police say, Chief Bridge , who was accompan- ied on the trip to Bridgep ort by Town Officer John Stephani , State Trooper James Toaie and Clarence Hawkins , proprietor of the Bellport store , said that , according to state- ments made by Rusinski , the Brook- haven burglaries cleared up by the latter ' s arrest are as follows: February, 1940 — Hellpapp ' s gar- age , Port Jefferson ; radio set , cigars , cigarettes and a small sum of money. Jun e 9 , 1940 — Kerny ' s garage , State road , Medford ; radio set , cigars , cigarettes , candy and a small sum of money. July 14 , 1940—Happy Hour Bar and Grill , Port Jefferson Station; ci- gars , cigarettes and about $20 in cash taken from skeebali machine and music box. July- 28 , 1940—Hawkins ' store , Bell- port; about $200 in cash , a .25-caliber Colt automatic revolver and a supp ly of bullets for the latter. Since the Hawkins ' theft , Brook- haven Town and State police had conducted an extensive investigation , which centered more or less around the fact that a coupe , bearing a Con - necticut license , the last three num- bers of which were \209 , \ was seen parked off Main stre et in Bellport for a sh ort time on the nigh t of the burglary. Rusinski , police say, told of having entered the Hawkins store about 1:40 a. ni. The search for the \209\ car point- ed to a car stolen in Stamford , Conn., on June 9. ' c» ; ^ ] Surprised in Attempt | .$_- . __$ Earl y Sunday morning, while at- te npting a burglary in a Bridgeport drug store , a man , said by police to be Rusinski , was surprised by a Bridgeport policeman. The burglar opened fire on the officer and wounded him three times in the arm , then escaped. The officer , it was found, had been shot with a .25-caliber re- volver. A short time later , Bridgeport po- lice found a car abandoned near that scene. It was the \209\ car that had been stolen in Stamford . An alarm was broadcast and a man answering Rusinski' s descrip- tion was seen shortly later on Mer- ritt Parkway. State police set up a barricade on the parkway, but the man , this time riding in another stol- en car , fired at the officers , and , in attempting to get past the barricade overturned the car. He abandoned it and made for the woods. He was captured a short time later. According to Chief Bridge , Rusin- ski will be brought here to face the burglary charges after Connecticut authorities have fini shed with him on five separate counts , consisting of two charges of grand larceny, charges of attempted burg lary, felonious as- sault and attempting to commit a crime with a dangerous weapon. Chief Bridge said that Mr. Haw- kins identified the bullets taken from the wounded officer as those stolen from his store in Bellport. [ Burglary, Then Feast | <j) : — ^ , In confessing the Ha wkins theft , according to police , Rusinski said that after taking the money, he partook of several portions of ice crea m at the soda fountain , then went to the refrigerator and helped himself to quantities of pickles and ham.
