Wife Charged with Four Counts of Violating Protective Order

She turned herself in on a warrant.

A 48-year-old New Canaan woman was charged with four counts of criminal violation of a protective order and one count of criminal mischief in the third degree after she allegedly sent her husband several text messages, called him multiple times, left voice mails and sent emails last month, despite being ordered by the courts not to do so. She also broke a pair of her husband’s glasses during a dispute.

The woman turned herself in on a warrant on Nov. 13 at 2 p.m. and was scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 14 after she posted $1,000 bond.

Christopher Pinto, 41, of Stamford turned himself in after learning there was a warrant for his arrest after he allegedly defrauded a Charter Oak Drive resident out of $3,000 in May of this year.

According to police, the 54-year-old New Canaan resident paid Pinto to do some pool restoration work at his home. The check was cashed, but the work was never performed. Pinto was employed by Clearwater Pool Service, which had serviced the man’s pool before.

Pinto was charged with larceny in the third degree. He was held on $3,000 bond and given a Nov. 27 court date.

I voted for Mallozzi but I have to tell you that after I saw his antics in person at TequillaRead More Mockingbird I find him morally reprehensible. He boasted how we was the "mayor" of New Canaan and had two women sit with him and his colleague to discuss how he might be able to find one of the girls mom a job in New Canaan.

If you want to see how many members of Mallozzi Marionettes are graduates of the University ofRead More Vermont, please Google Tucker Murphy's name. There are currently 8 people who are UVM alumni. Some day, maybe Tom Stadler, will investigate the issue he has ignored over a year ago. Mr. Stadler was advised that the apron of Tiger's driveway appropriated the use of Town of New Canaan taxpayer purchase products to improve Tiger's home. Mr. Stadler never responded to my request to determine if Town's resources were used to improve Tiger's driveway. Maybe "Johnny Engel-seed" was advised in the acquisition of his home improvements by the Department of Public Works? Mr. Mallozzi, when you decided to retaliate against me last Friday, you should have considered that there are federal laws which prohibit retaliation against federal whistleblowers. As soon as you retaliated against my civil liberties and restricted my access to public document inspection and applied "threats of arrest" to obstruct justice, you have now exposed the Town of New Canaan to a federal suit for violations of U.S.C. Title 42, Section 1983. Mr. Mallozzi says he fears me? No, Mr. Mallozzi fears that the allegations set forth in my criminal complaint alleging Larceny: Defrauding the Public Community will allow for the documents which I acquired pursuant to the FOI Act to be provided to a federal jury as evidence.
