|
New Canaan Police on Sept. 27 arrested an 80-year-old Avalon Drive man by warrant following multiple complaints from a female neighbor about stalking incidents stretching back to May. Joseph Cassata was charged with second-degree stalking, voyeurism and simple trespass. Cassata’s neighbor reported his behavior and actions to police on Sept. 16, according to an arrest warrant application signed the following day by state Superior Court Judge Alex V. Hernandez.
For about five months, Cassata “had repeatedly engaged in unwanted contact despite her telling him multiple times not to speak with her,” according to the police affidavit completed by Officer Michael Schnell and obtained by NewCanaanite.com.
