New Canaan Police on Oct. 29 arrested a local woman, 58, following a domestic dispute.
At about 12:47 p.m. that day (a Tuesday), officers were dispatched to an Orchard Drive home on a reported dispute between the victim and arrested woman, according to police.
Through an investigation, police established probable cause to bring the misdemeanor charge, officials said.
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.
Police withheld details, saying this case was a domestic matter.
The woman was released after promising to appear the following day in state Superior Court.
She hasn’t yet pleaded, according to Connecticut Judicial Branch records, and is now scheduled for arraignment Jan. 9.
