An argument between a father and mother as they cared for their young daughter got violent, and each parent was charged with disorderly conduct last Thursday and issued misdemeanor summonses to appear in court. (This account includes accusations not proven in court.)

According to police, the father told them: He was trying to feed and change the couple’s daughter when the argument started. As he was walking into the child’s room, the mother pulled his shirt by the neck, ripping it, and struck him on the side of the head several times. Police said the mother told them: The father grabbed her and pushed her out of the way to get into the child’s room. She tried to take the child from the crib when the father grabbed and pushed her again.

On Friday evening, a 23-year-old Darien man in a dispute with a person he was dating came up with various ways of acting offensive in a series of actions that didn’t stop until the victim finally called 9-1-1, police said. Darien police described what happened with this account (including the victim’s description of what happened before police arrived), including accusations not proven in court:

Robert Oxer Jr., 23, was in a dating relationship with the victim and had spent Thursday night with the victim (state law prohibits police from giving any identifying information about the victim, including sex, age and what town the victim is from). The victim told police:

At some point that night, Oxer became angry with the victim, telling the victim that the victim was “ruining” his life. He drove the victim onto Interstate 95 to Westport and back to Darien, at points driving faster than 100 mph in an attempt to scare the victim. The two returned to Oxer’s home at 166 Pear Tree Point Road.
