Police before dawn Saturday arrested a 43-year-old New Canaan woman and charged her with third-degree assault and disorderly conduct.
At about 2:30 a.m. on Sept. 7, officers responded to an Anthony Lane residence on a reported dispute, police said.
There, police conducted an investigation and brought the misdemeanor charges.
Police withheld details, saying it’s a domestic matter.
A person is guilty of third-degree assault, according to state law, when “with intent to cause physical injury to another person, he causes such injury to such person or to a third person” or “recklessly causes serious physical injury to another person or “with criminal negligence, he causes physical injury to another person by means of a deadly weapon, a dangerous instrument or an electronic defense weapon,” among other reasons.
The woman was released after promising to appear Monday in state Superior Court. According to Connecticut Judicial Branch records, she has not yet pleaded. Her arraignment now is scheduled for Nov. 12, the records show.
