A 17-year-old Darien boy arrested on Cinco de Mayo has been charged with second-degree breach of peace and second-degree threatening, The Greenwich Time reports. The evening of Wednesday, May 5, police responded to a complaint from a female resident of Avalon Darien at 137 Hollow Tree Ridge Road about non-resident teens swimming and making noise in the community pool. When she called out her window advising them to vacate the pool area, one of the boys yelled profanities at her, threatening physical harm. Fearful, the woman shut the window and called the police.
Meanwhile, police received a call from a resident on Hecker Avenue about an intoxicated 18-year-old female. When they arrived, the girl told police she'd been drinking with two boys, aged 16 and 17 years. Before being transported to Stamford Hospital for high blood alcohol levels, the girl also told police where her drinking companions lived. The officers went to the location to check on the boys, learning of the Avalon incident at the same time they got to the 17-year-old boy's house. The boy's mother said he had just returned home.
The officers detected the smell of alcohol on the 17-year-old's person and noticed that he fit the description of the boy who threatened the Avalon resident, according to Darien Police Captain Fred Komm. The boy admitted that he'd been at the apartment complex and was arrested on the spot. Police released him to his parents on a promise to appear in court on Monday, May 17.
