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.
