At 9:45 a.m., police were called. When they arrived at the home, one of the women, a 60-year-old Rowayton resident, told police that the other (a 57-year-old Darien resident) had asked to borrow $65 for a medical bill. The Rowayton woman said that when she refused to give the money, an argument began, and at one point the 60-year-old tried to leave the house, but the Darien woman had her car keys and wouldn’t give them to her. The Darien woman denied having kept the keys.

Stupid vandalism worth eye-rolling, but not a lot of money: Stealing a stop sign and throwing it into a swimming pool. Harmful vandalism worth $15,000: the damage done to a pool when the stop sign tears the pool liner, allowing water to leak out. Darien police say the incident happened sometime early in the morning of June 30 or in the night before at a residence on Pear Tree Point Road. A resident of the home saw a dark object under water in the pool early in the morning and found it was a stop sign. Police say the sign appears to have been originally located at the intersection of Pear Tree Point Road and Long Neck Point Road, which was missing a stop sign.
