Police on Tuesday evening arrested a 41-year-old Norwalk man following a domestic incident in New Canaan.
At about 5:32 p.m. on Dec. 13, officers were dispatched to a residence on Lakeview Avenue on a report of a dispute between two people there, police said.
Following an investigation, they charged the Norwalk man with disorderly conduct.
It isn’t clear what prompted the misdemeanor charge, how the arrested man is related to the victim or what their argument involved. Police withheld details, classifying the incident as a domestic matter.
Under state law, disorderly conduct occurs when (a) A person acts with intent to cause inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk thereof, such person: (1) Engages in fighting or in violent, tumultuous or threatening behavior; or (2) by offensive or disorderly conduct, annoys or interferes with another person; or (3) makes unreasonable noise; or (4) without lawful authority, disturbs any lawful assembly or meeting of persons; or (5) obstructs vehicular or pedestrian traffic; or (6) congregates with other persons in a public place and refuses to comply with a reasonable official request or order to disperse; or (7) commits simple trespass, as provided in section 53a-110a, and observes, in other than a casual or cursory manner, another person (A) without the knowledge or consent of such other person, (B) while such other person is inside a dwelling, as defined in section 53a-100, and not in plain view, and (C) under circumstances where such other person has a reasonable expectation of privacy.
Police released the man after promising to appear Wednesday in state Superior Court in Norwalk.
