According to police, the 22-year-old Farmington man sped through a stop sign and nearly crashed into a car. Police say they later found his car and heard Vagnini in the woods. He told police he had been drinking in Hartford and was assaulted and blacked out.
Vagnini was charged with reckless driving, evading responsibility and driving under the influence.
A woman who returned a message left at Vagnini's home said the family would have no comment.
