Police on Friday night arrested a 51-year-old New Canaan man and charged him with disorderly conduct.
At about 8:52 p.m. on March 17, officers were dispatched to a Weed Street home on a report of a dispute between two occupants of the residence, police said.
Following an investigation, they arrested the 51-year-old man.
It isn’t clear what prompted the misdemeanor charge, what the argument involved, how it escalated or whether or how the arrested man is related to the victim.
Police withheld further information, classifying the matter as a domestic incident.
Under state law, disorderly conduct occurs when (a) A person acts with intent to cause inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk thereof, such person: (1) Engages in fighting or in violent, tumultuous or threatening behavior; or (2) by offensive or disorderly conduct, annoys or interferes with another person; or (3) makes unreasonable noise; or (4) without lawful authority, disturbs any lawful assembly or meeting of persons; or (5) obstructs vehicular or pedestrian traffic; or (6) congregates with other persons in a public place and refuses to comply with a reasonable official request or order to disperse; or (7) commits simple trespass, as provided in section 53a-110a, and observes, in other than a casual or cursory manner, another person (A) without the knowledge or consent of such other person, (B) while such other person is inside a dwelling, as defined in section 53a-100, and not in plain view, and (C) under circumstances where such other person has a reasonable expectation of privacy.
The Weed Street man was released after promising to appear March 20 in state Superior Court in Norwalk.
