Police on Sunday night arrested a 62-year-old New Canaan woman and charged her with interfering with a 911 call and disorderly conduct.
At about 7:20 p.m. on May 31, officers responded to Betsy’s Lane on a report of a dispute, police said.
There, officers conducted an investigation and established probable cause for the misdemeanor charges.
It isn’t clear what the woman did or whether she’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.
Police released the woman after she promised to appear June 1 in state Superior Court.
