Disorderly Charge for New Canaan Man, 56

More

Police last week arrested a 56-year-old Skyview Lane man by warrant and charged him with disorderly conduct.

On April 9, officers took a complaint from a victim regarding a domestic dispute with the man, according to a police report.

Following an investigation, police obtained a warrant for the misdemeanor charge, the report said.

They took him into custody at about 2:26 p.m. the same day, it said.

It isn’t clear what the dispute involved, whether it turned physical or whether 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 Monday in state Superior Court.
