Arrest Warrant: New Canaan Mom Harassed by Estranged Husband

By |

Police last week arrested a 49-year-old Norwalk man by warrant and charged him with second-degree harassment and 23 counts of violation of a protective order, a felony offense. The man, who is going through a divorce, has repeatedly called for police to perform welfare checks on his children, who have been with his wife in New Canaan, court documents show. His wife has said the man “constantly calls NCPD to do welfare checks on her and her two children,” according to an arrest warrant application filed by New Canaan Police and signed in May by the prosecuting attorney and state Superior Court Judge Bruce Hudock. The estranged pair split custody of their children and a protective order is already in place against the man, the police affidavit said. The victim told police that at about 7:30 p.m. on May 11, the man appeared at her New Canaan home “with flowers that he bought for her.”

When she asked what he was doing there, “he stated that he had gotten her the flowers for Mothers Day and he wanted to give her money for child support,” according to the arrest warrant application, obtained by NewCanaanite.com.
