Police: Darien Man, 44, Accused of Violent Assault in Domestic Incident [Updated]
|
A 44-year-old Petticoat Lane man assaulted a person in his home in various ways, with children in the home aware of what happened, sometime before 8:30 a.m., Friday, when a 911 call was first made, Darien police said. The very graphic description that follows describes an unusually high degree of violence. Darien police gave this account describing a domestic violence incident and the police response to it. The account includes accusations not proven in court (see the updates, a comment from the man’s lawyer, at bottom of the article and an update about the case being dismissed in court, a common occurrence after domestic violence charges):
Officers dispatched to the home were told that the caller had hung up twice and was not answering return calls. When police got there, they found the victim (in accordance with state law, police did not say if the victim was a man or woman, adult or child) in the driveway flagging them down.
