STAMFORD, Conn. A Stamford man was arrested Sunday in connection to a domestic dispute that took place on Pequot Drive.
Rodney Collins, 23, showed up to the residence looking to take custody of his child, but his request was denied by the childs mother who told police she thought he was intoxicated at the time, police said.
