A 61-year-old man whose anger apparently stemmed from a sawn-off tree branch was arrested after he was accused of purposefully bumping into a neighbor, according to police. Police described what happened with this account, including accusations not proven in court:

The neighbor was moving out of his home on Beach Drive, but when the moving van came down the street, a branch was in the way. One of the movers sawed off the branch, but the 61-year-old man came outside and yelled at him for doing it. Not long afterward, the neighbor was standing in the roadway when the 61-year-old walked out of his front door at a rapid pace. The man came directly at him and used his shoulder to strike the neighbor.

When a 42-year-old man got into a confrontation with a man in the parking lot at the Ring’s End store on West Ave., he spat on the man and told him he was infected with COVID-19, according to police. Darien police gave this account of the matter, including accusations not proven in court:

At about 11:50 a.m. on Wednesday, April 29, police received a call about the incident. The victim told police he had been driving toward the exit when the suspect, later identified as Saul Aguilar-Nuricumbo (also known as Saul Aguilar) of Fairfield Avenue in Norwalk, jumped in front of the man’s vehicle. The man told police he rolled down his window to tell Aguilar to be careful, and then Aguilar walked up to the driver’s window, told him he was infected with COVID-19 and spat on him. The man then pushed Aguilar “out of his car window and away from him,” police said, and asked a Ring’s End employee to call police.

An employee of Whole Foods Market went outside the store on Saturday to have lunch with a 27-year-old Stamford woman that the employee knew, but the woman brought three female friends with her and the group assaulted the employee, according to Darien police. Police gave this account of what happened, including accusations not proven in court:

At 12:15 p.m. on Saturday, a person driving by called police to tell them that there was a fight taking place in the parking lot of the supermarket at 150 Ledge Road. Officers went to the scene, but didn’t see anyone fighting. A witness told police he saw four females attacking the victim, whom police were able to find and talk to. (In an increasing practice for Darien police, the police announcement did not say whether the victim was a male or female or an adult or child.)

Officers responded to a fight in progress at Whole Foods, the caller was a third party driving by who stated they witnessed the altercation.

When a 57-year-old man refused to pay his bill at a downtown Darien restaurant Friday night, police said, the dispute eventually led to the man kicking a police officer in the groin, getting arrested and returning to the restaurant to get his lost wallet — resulting in another argument, violence, call to police and charges. All within three hours. Darien police described what happened with this account, including accusations not proven in court. All quotes are from the police announcement on Tuesday:

Andrew Herz of Flower Lane in Greenwich was eating with another person at The Goose restaurant, 972 Post Road. He refused to pay his bill.
