Police last week arrested a 27-year-old Bridgeport man and charged him with disorderly conduct.
At about 9:29 p.m. on Aug. 25, officers were dispatched to a Carter Street home regarding a domestic dispute between the man and another occupant of the residence, according to a police report.
Following an investigation, police brought the misdemeanor charge, the report said.
It’s unclear what the dispute involved, whether it turned physical or how the arrested man is related to the victim. Police withheld details, saying it’s a domestic matter.
Under state law, a person is guilty of disorderly conduct when he or she, “with intent to cause inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, engages in fighting or in violent, tumultuous or threatening behavior; or by offensive or disorderly conduct, annoys or interferes with another person,” among other reasons.
Police released the man after he promised to appear the following day in state Superior Court.
