Police before dawn Tuesday arrested a 24-year-old Fairfield man and charged him with disorderly conduct.
At about 2:51 a.m. on Dec. 26, officers responded to a Hoyt Farm Road residence on a reported dispute between the man and a victim, according to police. The owners of the residence have the same last name as the arrested man.
Through an investigation, authorities established probable cause and issued a misdemeanor summons.
Police withheld details of the arrest, 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.
The man was released after promising to appear the same day. He has not yet pleaded, Connecticut Judicial Branch records show, and is now scheduled for arraignment Feb. 22.
