A 72-year-old Darien man was arrested after he swung at someone else in a domestic incident, police said, adding that the victim was able to block the blow. The man also tried to stop the victim from calling police, the police announcement said. Darien police gave this further account of the matter, including accusations not proven in court:

Police were called to a home in town at 5:02 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 7. They were told the man tried to get into the victim’s room to hurt the victim.

Darien police say that when they were called to a West Avenue home on Aug. 8, were told that three days before a 32-year-old woman living there had gotten into a physical altercation with another person there. The woman was later arrested on a warrant after police had determined that the woman had injured that person’s face and destroyed some medication owned by that person. Police did not describe the “visible injury to the victim’s face” or say whether or not the victim had received treatment for it from a hospital or doctor (or whether the injury was major or minor). By state law, police do not describe victims in public statements, so the victim’s gender or age are not public.

Darien police responded to several unrelated domestic incidents in recent weeks resulting in criminal charges being filed against three town residents, including a charge of fourth-degree sexual assault in one case. Police described the incidents with these accounts; no accusations have been proven in court:
July 28, Misdemeanor Sexual Assault Charge
On July 28, at 10:20 a.m., a victim told police that a man, a 50-year-old resident of Turnabout Lane, had made “several unwanted sexual contacts” with the victim over the past several months, according to a police news release. “Video evidence was provided to corroborate the allegations,” the news release said. It provided no details of what was in the video or videos. Police applied for an arrest warrant for the man and received it on Aug.

Police charged a man who was trying to start fights with people at a downtown bar Saturday at night, and in a separate, unrelated incident on Monday, two people were charged after getting violent with each other at their home. Police described the incidents with these accounts, including accusations not proven in court:
Saturday at Night Not All Right for Fighting
Police were called to Chéz Ernie’s Cafe at 12:38 a.m., Saturday (not technically “Saturday Night”) on a report of a fight in progress, but a police announcement didn’t say they found that. They did find that a 20-year-old Bridgeport man was trying to start fights with several patrons, “making aggressive contact in the progress.” The man was issued a misdemeanor summons charging him with breach of peace. He is scheduled to appear Aug.

A 45-year-old Darien woman was arrested after she yelled at, got into a physical confrontation with and refused to leave the home of another person in town with whom she had previously been in a relationship, police said. Darien police gave this further account of what happened, including accusations not proven in court:

The woman, still at the scene when police arrived shortly after 10:55 p.m. on Thursday, July 1, complained of an injury and was taken to a hospital for evaluation. Police applied for an arrest warrant, which was approved. Police gave no indication that the other person was injured in the physical confrontation, nor did they describe the condition of the woman taken to the hospital. The woman was arrested July 2 on charges of disorderly conduct, third-degree assault and first-degree criminal trespassing.

Police responding to a 911 call about a domestic incident said they found there was was arguing involved, but didn’t say there was violence — and nobody was charged with a domestic violence crime. But a man hung up the phone when the 911 call was made by the other person, police said, and that resulted in charges against him. Darien police provided this account, including accusations not proven in court:

The call was made to police at 4:39 p.m. on Thursday, June 29, from a home in town. When police went to the residence, they spoke with a 50-year-old man who said there had been a verbal argument, and the other person confirmed that. The victim said that at some point he or she called 911, but the man hung up the call.

After a 21-year-old Daren man was charged in a domestic incident, according to police, he was told to show up in court and not to return to the home; the next day he wasn’t in court but was back at the home, resulting in two more arrests. Darien police gave this account of the matter, including accusations not proven in court:

On Wednesday, June 9, Christian Fiorenza of 13 Devonshire Dr. was charged with disorderly conduct after police were told that during a verbal argument he “became physically aggressive” then went to a room of the victim’s home and “began to cause damage” (police gave no details about what he did). Police were called to the home at 9:54 p.m. Fiorenza admitted to becoming physically aggressive, and was issued a misdemeanor summons to appear in state Superior Court in Stamford the next day. As a condition of his release, he was told not to return to the home until the court gave him permission. The next day, June 10, he showed up at the home.

In a domestic incident, a 56-year-old Darien man kicked a plastic laundry basket, which struck a victim in the shin, and he pushed the victim onto a bed, police said. The man was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct. Darien police gave this account of what happened, including accusations not proven in court:

Police were called to the home at 9:17 p.m., Sunday, May 30, where the victim gave police a description of the altercation. Other witnesses corroborated the victim’s account. After his arrest, the man was released on a $2,500 bond and was told to appear in state Superior Court in Stamford on June 1.

In a domestic violence incident late Monday night, a Hecker Avenue man put his hands around the neck of someone else “in a forceful manner for a short time, causing pain to the victim,” police said. He was arrested. Police gave this account of what happened, including accusations not proven in court:

Police went to the home after an 11:06 p.m. call. They were told the incident started after the man began to argue with other people there. Although the man put his hands on the victim’s neck, the police announcement did not say there were any marks on the victim.

A 43-year-old Darien woman had been issued a protective order forbidding her from assaulting a particular person, but she did anyway, in a domestic incident, Darien police said. Police gave this account of what happened:

The woman, according to the victim, arrived unannounced at a home in Darien sometime before 11:18 p.m., Tuesday, May 25 (when police were called). After about an hour, an argument took place, and at some point the woman struck the victim in the face with a closed fist. Police later saw that the victim had a visible injury on the victim’s nose. Police arrested the woman, charging her with violation of a protective order and third-degree assault.

The woman was held on a $50,000 bond until she was taken the following morning to state Superior Court in Stamford.

A 60-year-old man threw a small object at someone during a domestic dispute late Saturday night, March 27, so he was charged him with disorderly conduct, police said. Darien police gave this further account of the matter, including accusations not proven in court:

He was given a misdemeanor summons to appear March 29 in state Superior Court in Stamford. His case has been continued to May 6.
