Police last week arrested a 35-year-old New Canaan woman and charged her with disorderly conduct.
At about 6:29 p.m. on Sept. 10, officers responded to a Silvermine Road home on a report of a dispute between the woman and the victim, police said.
Through an investigation, officers established probable cause to bring the misdemeanor charge.
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 Sept. 11 in state Superior Court.
