Police on Saturday arrested a 36-year-old New Canaan woman and charged her with interfering with an emergency call and disorderly conduct.
At about 5:57 p.m. on April 4, officers responded to a Huckleberry Hill Road home on a report of a dispute between the victim and woman, police said.
There, officers conducted an investigation and brought the two misdemeanor-level charges, the report said.
It isn’t clear what the woman did, how she interfered with a 9-1-1 call or whether she’s related to the victim. Police withheld details, saying it’s a domestic matter.
Under state law, people are guilty of disorderly conduct if they “with intent to cause inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk … [e]ngages in … threatening behavior; or … annoys or interferes with another person,” among other reasons.
The woman was released after promising to appear Monday in state Superior Court.
