New Canaan Girl's Case Continued After Power Outage

NORWALK -- The case of a 16-year-old New Canaan girl charged with negligent homicide in the death of a Norwalk jogger this spring was continued Friday morning when a power outage closed the courthouse for the day.

Brianna McEwan, a three-sport athlete at New Canaan High School, is being charged as an adult in the case.

Police say McEwan was looking at the New Canaan High website on her cell phone when she hit jogger Kenneth Dorsey while driving on New Canaan Avenue on March 24.

McEwan, a member of the school's soccer, basketball and lacrosse teams, turned herself over to Norwalk police May 12 after learning there was a warrant for her arrest.

It wasn't immediately clear Friday when her next court date would be.
