Disorderly Conduct Charge for New Canaan Woman, 47

More

Police last Friday morning arrested a 47-year-old New Canaan woman and charged her with disorderly conduct. 

Officers at about 7:33 a.m. on Dec. 17 were dispatched to a Heritage Hill Road home regarding a domestic dispute between the woman and another person at the residence, according to a police report.

Following an investigation, police arrested the woman on the misdemeanor charge.

It isn’t clear what the dispute involved, whether it turned physical or whether the arrested woman 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 woman after she promised to appear Monday in state Superior Court.
