Police on Monday evening arrested a 41-year-old New Canaan man following a domestic dispute.
At about 5:02 p.m. on Sept. 4, officers were dispatched to a West Road home on a report of a dispute between two occupants where the victim feared for his or her safety, according to a police report.
Following an investigation, police charged the man with disorderly conduct and second-degree threatening, both misdemeanor offenses.
It isn’t clear what prompted the threatening charge, whether the assailant and victim are related or how, what the dispute involved or what was the nature of the threat.
Under state law, a person is guilty of threatening in the second degree when: (1) By physical threat, such person intentionally places or attempts to place another person in fear of imminent serious physical injury, (2) (A) such person threatens to commit any crime of violence with the intent to terrorize another person, or (B) such person threatens to commit such crime of violence in reckless disregard of the risk of causing such terror.
Police held the man on $5,000 bond and scheduled him to appear Sept. 5 in state Superior Court in Norwalk.
