My Music's Too Loud? What If I Bite Your Ear Off?

Unusual arrests and investigations from the area.

Police responding to a disturbance at a Stephen Street apartment in Stamford found a suspect who reportedly bit off more than he could chew. Police arrested the man for allegedly biting off his cousin's ear after his cousin asked him to turn down the loud music so he could rest up for work.

Stamford neighbors arguing over where shoveled snow should be discarded called police in to mediate the argument after heated tempers allegedly caused one man to begin striking the other about the head with a snow shovel. Since no injuries were reported, the suspect faces a disorderly conduct charge instead of assault.

In Norwalk, a man looking for a job thought he'd up his chances by allegedly punching a bar manager in the face. The man reportedly became upset after being told there were no open positions, which, police said, led to the alleged assault.

Thank you everyone for your comments. Carl - will try not to be offended by your "anyone withRead More half a brain" comment. I am dismayed to hear Dawn that you have made this effort and been turned down by the town and police department (it's not uncommon for me to see the police speeding up and down Moose Hill Road too!) Glad to hear, though, that I am not alone in seeing a need for people to get a grip on the road. Slow down. Hang up. Comply with stop signs and stop lights. Be courteous.

I have been tail-gated so many times - everywhere in Monroe - I drive a little over the posted speedRead More limit BUT I respect the people walking (most of the time in the wrong direction) and bike riders (they too ride in the wrong direction. HANG UP THE PHONE - DON'T PIGGY BACK thru a stop sign, and learn the right of way rule. AND STOP SIGNS mean S T O P!!! Robin lane people are good for running stop signs. And Pepper Street is 25 mph - NOT 45 or 50!!! Walkers & runners FACE TRAFFIC - Bike riders RIDE WITH TRAFFIC. AND one more thing - don't block the drive ways if there is a stop light - and someone coming in or out - let them and move on. THANKS for letting me get this off my chest!!!!!

Good luck Laura, My husband and I tried to get some on Purdy Hill Road from Rt.111 to Rt.25. theyRead More said they can't do it. I have asked numerous times to have a police officer sit in Farmview or use our driveway, said it's too dangerous, go figure. Tired of drivers around town having no respect for other drivers and people walking on side of road. It gets to the point that I don't even want to leave my house. Get a clue people slow down, stay off phones, it's not hard.
