A man and a woman who either live with each other or are in a relationship got into a public struggle Wednesday morning when one tried to retrieve a phone the other person had. Both were charged with breach of peace; no one was reported injured. The Darien police description of the incident followed state law in not giving any identifying information about the two. The police account identified neither of them  as a juvenile or said either was sent to juvenile court, so we can assume they were a man and a woman. With minor editorial style changes, here’s the complete account, in the words of the announcement (which includes accusations not proven in court):

A 26-year-old Darien man in an argument with his sister deliberately broke the television set of his sister and texted her a photo of the broken set, police said. Darien police described the incident with this account, including accusations not proven in court:

On Friday, June 30, the brother and sister, who both live at a home on Allen O’Neill Drive, communicated through text messages as they argued about who would drive their mother from work. The man was at home, his sister wasn’t. The sister later showed police a text message from her brother that said,“Looks like you’re getting a new TV then,” with a picture of the television with a broken screen. The sister went to police and showed them the text and photo.
