After drinking a bottle of vodka, a 58-year-old Darien man repeatedly punched and pushed another person at home, before police were called at about 1:10 a.m. on Saturday, police said. He was charged in that case and taken to Stamford hospital for observation, police said. A day later he was charged a second time after calling someone to get a ride home, although that person was connected to the first case and police had issued an order of protection forbidding him to contact that person. Since the matter is a domestic violence case, state law forbids police from describing the victim in any way. The arrested man’s address was also not released, and Darienite.com will not publish his name.

As sometimes happens with 911 calls, no one spoke directly to a Darien police dispatcher who received a call at 12:49 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 4. More unusual was what happened this time: According to police, the dispatcher heard people arguing, with one of them yelling for help. Darien police described what happened with this additional account (including accusations not proven in court):

Since no one was telling the dispatcher where the emergency was taking place, the dispatcher traced the location, and officers went to the scene — a home on Old Farm Road in the Tokeneke section of town. There they met with a resident who said he had been in an argument with the victim, who had left.

A 25-year-old ex-boyfriend of a Darien woman repeatedly called her and on one occasion threatened to kill her, according to Darien police, who arrested him last week on a warrant after he was arrested by police in Yonkers, N.Y.

The man was arrested by police on March 20 on charges of threatening and, six times, violating a no-contact protective order issued by a court. Darien police described the incident with this account, including accusations not proven in court:

Antonio Lucaine, whose last known address was in Yonkers, dated the woman for about five years, and at one point the couple were engaged and lived together, the woman said. She told police he was verbally and physically abusive throughout the relationship, and in New Rochelle, N.Y., he physically assaulter her in 2014, which led to an order of protection from a New York state judge.The woman moved to Connecticut after breaking off the relationship in February 2016. The protective order required him not to contact the woman, but she told Darien police last August that she had received at least six calls from him, including one on Aug. 12.

A 42-year-old Darien man choked a woman during a struggle over a phone call the woman was trying to make at their home in the Avalon Darien apartment complex, police said. Darien police described what happened with this account (including accusations not proven in court):

The woman, 40, told police that she had become upset at about 7 a.m., Monday, March 6 when the man wouldn’t let her make a phone call to a juvenile. When she went to a bathroom and tried to call anyway, the man came in, took the phone from her hand, put it in his pocket, and a struggle began. During the struggle and argument, the man put his forearm over her neck and, at least twice, pushed the woman up against a wall. The man wrapped his arms around her neck and began to push on her head and neck.

A 43-year-old Darien resident, who appears to be the father of a boy, was playing tennis with him at the high school when, frustrated, he hit him on the butt with a tennis racket, leaving a welt.

That resulted in the man being charged with a felony. Darien police described the incident and arrest with this account (including accusations not proven in court; Darienite.com is not publishing the man’s name):

Police were called to the tennis courts at Darien High School at 6:45 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 12 by a person, apparently not the boy, who told police of having witnessed the incident. At the courts, police found the man and the boy, who appeared to be upset and may have been crying. The man said he went to the courts with the boy at about 4:30 p.m. to play.

One family member’s concern that another family member was taking drugs led to her grabbing his wallet from his pants pocket, which led to a tussle as he objected — then a turn of events that she didn’t seem to expect led to the man’s arrest on other charges, police said. The Incident Last Week

Police described the events and the investigation with this account (including accusations not proven in court):

The woman, a resident of Walmsley Road, ran out of the house and brought the wallet to the Darien police station — where police decided that the fresh cuts on her indicated that an assault had taken place. So they went back to the house, questioned the man — Scott Waters, 23 — and charged him with disorderly conduct and third-degree assault, both misdemeanors. The incident began sometime before 11:20 p.m. on Wednesday, June 22, when the woman arrived at Darien Police Headquarters. She told police she had left the house with the wallet and went directly to the police station.

According to police, the father of a Darien teenage girl going to a prom last week said he’d spent the day helping her shop to get ready, but when the girl’s mother arrived home and saw her daughter leaving with prom clothes in hand, an argument started. That eventually led to the man’s arrest. Darien police gave this account (including accusations not proven in court):

The father, a 43-year-old man who lives in Norwalk, is subject to an order of protection barring him from actions including threatening or assault against the mother. (It did not mandate that he have no contact with the mother.)

The order of protection resulted from a previous domestic dispute. The mother, a Darien resident with custody of the daughter, told police that she allows the father to spend time with his daughter.

A 47-year-old resident of Duffy’s Lane threatened and assaulted another family member on two different domestic violence incidents, according to Darien police. He was also charged with risk of injury to a minor, a felony. Police described the case with this information (including accusations not proven in court and not including any identifying information about the victim, such as what relationship she is to the man):

On Tuesday, Feb. 9, the victim reported the matter to police and told police she had spoken with an attorney earlier that day and had already gotten a restraining order against the man. Her lawyer had recommended that she file a complaint with police.

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.

A Little Brook North Road man yelled at and chased his wife and their child at home, and, when he was arrested, yelled at and hit a police officer at Police Headquarters, according to Darien police. Police described what happened with this account (with accusations not proven in court):

Police were called to the home at Little Brook Road North at midnight on Nov. 7 to 8 (Wednesday to Thursday) on a report of a physical domestic violence incident in progress. When officers arrived at the front door, Jose Sucre, 52, met them in the front foyer. He was uncooperative with police and began to pull away from officers, then fought with them.

A 33-year-old Patton Drive man was charged Sunday with disorderly conduct after his girlfriend told police he struck her on the side of her face. Police gave this account (accusations not proven in court):

The woman, also 33, said the two had argued that evening by text messages, and when they were home together the argument turned physical. After police were called to the home at 9 p.m., the man told an officer that he hadn’t struck her, he only put his hands on her upper chest to push her away. One of his hands may have slipped and struck her face, he said, inadvertently slapping her. He said he only pushed her because she was arguing so close to him.

« August 2022 »

A man appeared to have a hurt lip and a woman had redness on her ear after police were called to a Glenwood Drive home on a report of domestic violence early Friday evening, police said. Police gave this account (accusations not proven in court):

The woman, 33, said her 48-year-old boyfriend hit her on the side of her head. The boyfriend said he pushed her head out of his face during an argument. He denied striking her. He said he may have been in contact with her ear with his elbow when he was trying to deflect her punches.
