FAIRFIELD, Conn. – A Fairfield woman was charged with disorderly conduct after she repeatedly harassed a mail carrier in her neighborhood, according to police reports.
The U.S. Postal Service employee called police to report the most recent incident Wednesday morning. While delivering mail on Brookview Avenue, a local resident began following him with her Chihuahua, according to the report. The woman allowed slack in the dog’s leash so that the dog could harass the man, police say.
Fairfield Police and Animal Control officers had received similar complaints from the mail carrier in the past, according to police reports. When confronted by police the woman called the incidents “a coincidence,” police say.
The 53-year-old Fairfield resident was charged with disorderly conduct Wednesday. She was released on a promise to appear in court, and her hearing is scheduled for July 26.
