Wethersfield’s police chief is retiring several months after he was placed on paid leave for interfering with a town manager’s investigation of two police sergeants.
“It has been an honor to serve the great residents of Wethersfield for over 47 years,” Chief James Cetran wrote in a Feb. 6 letter to the town. “While I intend to retire, I remain committed to Wethersfield and our continued success.”
But the retirement comes on the heels of controversy. Cetran, 70, was placed on leave by Town Manager Gary Evans in November. Evans said he got an anonymous tip that two Wethersfield police sergeants, Jennie and Oscar Rivera, had “abused time.”

The father of a 18-year-old Connecticut man killed by a Wethersfield police officer in 2019 has filed a wrongful death lawsuit.
Anthony Vega-Cruz was killed in April 2019 during a traffic stop.
Police said they tried to pull him over for having illegal window tints and a license plate that belonged to a different vehicle with a suspended registration.
Officer Layau Eulizier Jr. fired several shots into Vega-Cruz’s windshield. A year later, state prosecutors ruled the shooting was justified. The officer later resigned from the police force.
Jose Vega-Cruz claims his son’s civil rights were violated. He seeks unspecified monetary damages.
