A 41-year-old man, wanted on an extraditable warrant from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office in Arizona, was arrested in Newington on Monday morning by representatives of the U.S. Marshals Service District of Connecticut Violent Fugitive Task Force and Newington Police.
According to news releases issued by both the U.S. Marshals Service and Newington Police, David Laudati, 41, was taken into custody at approximately 11:06 a.m. on Monday, July 29, at a residence on East Robbins Street in Newington. Charges included in the warrant include 11 counts of voyeurism and eight counts of attempt to commit voyeurism. The charges stem from an investigation launched by the Buckeye (Arizona) Police Department in September 2023.
He is also being charged as a fugitive from justice, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
“Prior to the investigation Laudati was employed as a swim coach. Following the investigation the Buckeye police requested the U.S. Marshal’s assistance in locating and apprehending Laudati,” the release from the U.S. Marshals Service states.
Prior to working as a swim coach in Arizona, Laudati was a coach of the Mandell JCC Sharks swim team in West Hartford. His teams were successful, with many swimmers excelling at the state and regional levels, according to online records from 2014-2017.
Information about the exact position Laudati held at the Mandell JCC, and when and why he left was not available Monday night.
Laudati has been detained on $500,000 bond pending extradition to Maricopa County, Arizona, and is scheduled to appear Tuesday at New Britain Superior Court, according to the Newington Police Department.
