Darien police said a loud argument between a son, 17, and his parents resulted in a visit on Saturday to the home on Allen O’Neil Drive, where they issued him a summons to appear in Juvenile Court in Stamford. Police gave this account (including accusations not proven in court):

The initial call to police at 11:38 p.m. referred to a verbal argument. The parents, and later the boy, said he had been drinking alcohol and wanted to leave the home, but his parents told him not to. He threw some things in the house. No one was hurt or treated violently.

A 49-year-old Darien man is charged with disorderly conduct after police say he hit a boy who has been living with him for the past 18 months. The boy, who appears to be a teenager, did not appear to have any injuries, police said. (Under state law, police aren’t allowed to give out information on victims of alleged domestic violence, including the boy’s age or relationship to the man.)

Darien police described the incident with this account (with accusations not proven in court):

At 10:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 4, police were called to the man’s apartment on the Post Road. He was very cooperative and forthcoming, giving police an account essentially the same as what the teenager said: The two had argued and scuffled, with the man punching the teenager and the teenager hitting back.

Cops: Man Violated Protective Order, Parents Obstructed Police

When the parents of a Devonshire Drive man went to the police station on July 3 to discuss problems related to their 34-year-old son, police found the man was violating a protective order and decided to arrest him, according to police. Police gave this account (containing accusations not proven in court) of the matter:

The parents realized that police were headed toward the house on Devonshire Drive, so they called their son and another person (on whose behalf the protective order had been issued) to warn them police were coming. When police realized what had happened, they charged each of the parents (63 and 61 years old) with interfering with a police investigation. They were issued summonses to appear in court. The parents and the 34-year-old, told police that they thought the protective order was no longer in effect, but police found no records indicating that it had been removed (it was late afternoon or early evening when police left for the house, well past working hours, so it wasn’t possible to check with court personnel to see if the records might have been wrong).
