Police arrested a New Canaan woman, 43, and Alna, Maine man, 45, following a domestic incident on Richmond Hill Road last week.
At about 12:46 a.m. on May 12 (a Tuesday), officers were dispatched to a home on Richmond Hill Road on a report by the victim that an individual would not leave the house, police said.
Following an investigation, authorities charged the man and woman with the misdemeanor offense, according to a police report.
They both promised to appear the same day in state Superior Court.
Police withheld details of the conflict, saying it’s a domestic matter.
Under state law, people are guilty of disorderly conduct if they “with intent to cause inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk … [e]ngages in … threatening behavior; or … annoys or interferes with another person,” among other reasons.
According to Connecticut Judicial Branch records, the woman’s arraignment is now scheduled for July 17.
The records also show that the man’s re-arrest was ordered May 14. It’s unclear whether he failed to appear at the May 12 arraignment.
