A New Canaan man was charged with disorderly conduct on June 6 after allegedly standing in the path of a taxi and its customer and refusing to move, said Sgt. Carol Ogrinc.
Adrian Sisser, 35, allegedly got into an argument with a cab driver who already had a passenger in his vehicle. Sisser was allegedly demanding the driver, 41, to give him a ride home as he had allegedly been out drinking with friends, said Ogrinc.
The driver, who asked Sisser to move repeatedly, alerted New Canaan police, who arrived at 10:38 p.m. at the train station off of Elm Street to find Sisser with the smell of alcohol on his breath, police said.
Sisser was released on the promise to show up for his June 20 court date, police said.
