Police in Darien were contacted by Dellwood Road resident Maureen Ruckman, age 43, on October 26, 2021, in regards to an argument she had been involved in with someone at her home.

According to a spokesperson from the Darien Police Department, while officers were at the scene investigating the incident, Ruckman became uncooperative and at one point physical with one of the officers.
