Man's Seizure Arrests His Arrest
Police responding to a report of a man violating his protective order and threatening others, they had to put their investigation on hold as the man experienced a seizure and was transported to a hospital for treatment.
A 47-year-old man who was the subject of a protective order after a domestic violence report on Glenwood Drive was charged by police with violating that order.
Darien police said the protective order had been issued to the man on Oct. 2. On Oct. 4 police were called back to Glenwood Drive, and when they arrived at about 12:30 p.m., they found the man was experiencing a seizure.
He was soon transported to a hospital, and police waited until later to finish their investigation and make an arrest. Because of the delay, they could not arrest the man without an arrest warrant, which they applied for and received.
