Police on Wednesday morning arrested a 23-year-old Westport woman by warrant following a domestic incident earlier this week.

At about 10:04 a.m. on Monday, officers received a complaint about a domestic incident that had occurred the day before with another resident of the victim’s home, according to a police report.

Following an investigation, police charged the 23-year-old from Westport with disorderly conduct.

It isn’t clear whether or how she is related to the victim, what the dispute involved, whether anyone was threatened or physically injured or what prompted police to bring the charge—it’s classified as a misdemeanor under state law.

Police withheld further information, classifying the incident as a domestic matter.

A person is guilty of disorderly conduct in Connecticut “when, 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.”

She was released after promising to appear June 1 in state Superior Court in Norwalk.
