Police: Darien Dog Poop Perp Brought to Justice in New Canaan With Video
|
Police on Wednesday fined a Darien man $136 after he was caught on video flinging his dog’s poop under a set of bleachers at Waveny Park. At about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, the man could be seen walking his leashed Springer spaniel at Waveny on the large soccer and softball fields, according to police. ____________

He was carrying what looked like a child’s snow shovel and could be seen scooping up after his dog and then tossing the waste under a set of bleachers alongside one of the fields, according to Officer Allyson Halm, head of the New Canaan Police Department’s Animal Control section. The videographer — a local woman — caught the man’s license plate, and when police tracked down and confronted him, he was apologetic and confessed, Halm said.
