Milford EMT accused of kidnapping woman tried to get break-in case from ’19 dropped

A Milford EMT accused of kidnapping a woman he previously dated at gunpoint last month was twice denied probation programs that could have dismissed charges related to breaking into another ex-girlfriend’s home in 2019, judicial records show.

Bradley Doyle, who has been placed on unpaid leave as an EMT at American Medical Response in Bridgeport, is accused of kidnapping a female co-worker he recently dated when she ended her shift on Feb. 23, police said.

Doyle, 22, of Milford, called and threatened to kill the 22-year-old and himself before forcing the woman into her car at gunpoint and speeding off in the driver’s seat around 1 a.m., according to a state police incident report.

The woman told police Doyle tossed the Glock airsoft gun in a Haddam neighborhood as state troopers were closing in on them, according to an incident report.

Doyle was apprehended and the woman was found safe in Higganum, about an hour north of where the kidnapping occurred outside AMR on Connecticut Avenue in Bridgeport, the incident report stated.

Hours after the arrest, a New Britain Superior Court Judge reiterated his stance on why he denied Doyle’s second attempt for a probation program, which if successfully completed, would have dismissed charges related to a 2019 incident where he was accused of forcing his way into another former girlfriend’s home in Wallingford, records show.

According to a warrant for his arrest in the Wallingford case, Doyle tried to barge into his ex-girlfriend’s home, but the woman’s father stopped him at the door while other family members called police.

The case was transferred to state Superior Court in New Britain due to a conflict of interest at New Haven Superior Court. Although the case is being heard in New Britain, the prosecutor is from the Chief State’s Attorney’s Office, judicial records show.

Alaine Griffin, a spokesperson for the Chief State’s Attorney’s Office, has not responded to questions about why the case was transferred to New Britain.

Doyle, who is facing charges of attempted second-degree burglary, disorderly conduct and making a false statement in the Wallingford incident, has twice been denied probation programs that could dismiss the case, court records show.

Doyle’s attorney Ed Gavin declined comment on his client’s cases.
