Police: Loud, Violent Argument at Home Results in Disorderly Conduct Charge

By David Gurliacci | January 29, 2016

A loud argument turned violent at a home on Allen O’Neill Drive on Jan. 20, leading to charges of disorderly conduct against a 39-year-old woman, police said. Darien police described the incident with this account, which is somewhat vague partly because police are limited under state law in what they can say about domestic violence incidents. The account includes accusations not proven in court:

Two family members got into an argument with the woman when they tried to have an intervention with her about a matter that police described as “several diagnoses,” and the family members said they were concerned about her well-being. When one person was taking an ashtray off a table, the woman punched that person, the other family member said.

At about 9:30 p.m., police received a call from a neighbor of the Darien woman to complain about a loud argument coming from the woman’s home. When police arrived, the woman told them she had an argument with her nephew, a Stamford resident, who had become very angry and started yelling.
