Emmet Hibson (Fairfield Police Department)
FAIRFIELD, CT — Fairfield's former human resources director was in court Thursday for the first time since being charged last year in connection with the town's ongoing fill pile scandal.
Emmet Hibson said little as he stood before Judge Tracy Lee Dayton for the brief hearing, during which his case was moved from Bridgeport's Golden Hill Street courthouse to the facility on Main Street, where he is set to appear Feb. 23 with several co-defendants.
"They'll do the arraignment over there," Dayton said.

Hibson is one of five former Fairfield employees accused of conspiracy and illegally disposing of toxic polychlorinated biphenyls — or PCBs — during the 2018 construction of a berm at the fill pile, according to police, who brought charges against the group in November.
