New Canaan Police on Feb. 26 arrested a 50-year-old Forest Street man by warrant and charged him with disorderly conduct.
The warrant stemmed from an investigation following an incident reported to authorities on Feb. 1, according to police.
Officials served the warrant to the man at home and brought him to headquarters, where he was charged with the misdemeanor offense at about 1:45 p.m.
It isn’t clear what the man did or whether he’s related to the victim. 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 man was released on $500 bond and scheduled to appear the following day in state Superior Court. According to Connecticut Judicial Branch records, the man has not yet pleaded and is now scheduled for arraignment April 16.
