OMG PD: Man Allegedly Hits Neighbor with Snow Shovel

One of several unusual arrests and investigations from the area.

 

A man looking for a job in Norwalk reportedly became upset after being told there were no open positions, so he allegedly punched a bartender in the face.

***

A Monroe woman made an emergency call for a dog bite that could be infected on the heels of the blizzard, so a Department of Public Works crew plowed roads to get EMS and police to her house — then she declined transport to the hospital.

***

A Brookfield resident using his plow to push a car up Federal Road early Sunday morning after the blizzard was arrested for allegedly doing so while under the influence of marijuana.

***

A man with an apparent penchant for expensive clothes is busted by Greenwich Police on charges of apparel from Saks Fifth Avenue.

***

A car left in the snow in Bridgeport was allegedly stolen and led Trumbull Police to arrest a Bridgeport man on a larceny charge.

***

Westport police arrested a Weston woman for DUI after she reportedly failed a field sobriety test and was unable to take a breath test because she could not follow instructions.

***

A Bronx, N.Y. man faces numerous charges after police say he used fake IDs in an attempt to filch $3,900 from the bank account of a New Jersey man at a TD Bank in Fairfield.

***

Redding Police responded to a domestic incident last week and ended up arresting a 66-year-old man for disorderly conduct. Upon searching his house, they seized seven guns, which they'll safely keep until the courts decide whether he can get them back. 

***

A Wilton man, who had sent a photo of various perscription drugs and what police called an assault rifle to an aquaintance, was taken to the hospital for psychological examination when Wilton Police responded to his residence and he agreed to exit his home peacefully. 

***

Police responding to a disturbance at a Stephen Street apartment in Stamford found a suspect who reportedly bit off more than he could chew. Police arrested the man for allegedly biting off his cousin's ear after his cousin asked him to turn down the loud music so he could rest up for work.

***

Stamford neighbors arguing over where shoveled snow should be discarded called police in to mediate the argument after heated tempers allegedly caused one man to begin striking the other about the head with a snow shovel. Since no injuries were reported, the suspect faces a disorderly conduct charge instead of assault.

Check out the CVS parking lot when the High School lets out. I've seen "Daddy" picking upRead More little "Johnny" in a Town owned car. We know it was tax money paying for the gas, just hope it was lunch time. I thought the Town was cracking down on inappropriate use of vehicles. I hope not many have use of a car on Sunday, and sure hope they were on Town duty. Yes, Angela, sadly you are right, nothing will change, but there is always a chance maybe someone will listen.

CORRUPTION- IS MORE LIKE IT. GRAFT, UNLESS YOU CHANGE YOUR VOTING HABITS - AS ENSTEIN SAID- DOINGRead More THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND EXPECTING A DIFFERENT RESULT IS INSANITY. THAT IS THE VOTING HERE IN HAMDEN- INSANE THAT PEOPLE CONTINUE TO VOTE DEMOCRATIC AND EXPECT THINGS TO CHANGE. If you notice all cities with the democratic party in charge in the U.S. has the same problems. Start with New Haven, Hamden, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New Orleans, they all have the same problems. Welfare, union legacy costs, taxation, North Haven seems to be run better, must check that out. Don't know if that is a democrat or not.

Beth there is so much abuse in this town it is ridiculous. How about getting stopped for seat beltRead More violations when most of the police do not wear them, or when they use cell phones instead of hands free devices. Could go on and on but who cares it will change NOTHING.

It is best not to give money to ANYONE going door to door...
