"The idea that a member of the military is suicidal and driving around with a gun gives me concern," Handy said.

MIDDLETOWN - A city judge refused to lower of the bond of a suicidal naval officer who allegedly planned to kill himself after dropping off his car to his ex-wife in Groton.

Earlier this week, Public Defender Jennifer McMillan told the court that her client, Adam Flick, 29, was only a danger to himself. She stressed his lack of a criminal record and urged the court to lower Flick's $50,000 bond. The suspect is facing weapons charges stemming from a July 19 arrest in Old Saybrook.

A relative of Flick's told police that he was on route to his ex-wife's house in Groton from Maryland and was suicidal and in possession of a weapon. Officers stopped Flick on I-95 near exit 69. Police found a loaded Beretta semi-automatic pistol on the passenger seat, which he did not have a permit for. He was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit and possession of weapons in a motor vehicle. He reportedly told police he wanted his ex-wife to have his car and then planned to commit suicide.
