Woman Accused Of Threatening Man With Knife In Home Invasion: Darien Police

DARIEN, CT — A 58-year-old Milford woman is facing a series of charges after police said she threatened a Darien man with a knife in his condominium during in the early morning hours of July 23.

Nancy Micha was arrested at her place of work in Milford and charged with home invasion; first-degree burglary; third-degree assault; criminal attempt at second-degree assault; disorderly conduct; second-degree reckless endangerment; and second-degree threatening.

Micha was released after posting a $25,000 bond, and is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 2, police said.

On the afternoon of July 23, Darien officers met with a man at headquarters on a report of a home invasion that occurred early that morning.

The man told police his landlord died recently, and he was contacted by the landlord's sister, Nancy Micha, who planned to sell the condominium on Gideon Lane and wanted the man to move out on Aug. 1, Darien police said in a news release.

The man said he woke up at approximately 1:15 a.m. on July 23 to Micha standing in his bedroom holding a knife in a "threatening manner," police said, adding that Micha was "yelling at the complainant in regards to when he was moving out."

Micha stabbed the bed and the walls surrounding the bed, the man told police, and struck him with a light fixture that resulted in a minor injury to his arm, police said.

Police noted that Micha left the condominium after approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

A Darien officer contacted Micha, who said she was receiving complaints about the man, and went to the condominium because she felt he would be home, police said.

"Micha stated that when in the condominium a verbal argument ensued with the complainant. Micha stated that she became very angry and threw a lamp and water bottle at the complainant," police said.

Police said Micha admitted to "having a knife for protection," and that she put holes in the wall with he knife, but was unsure if she stabbed the mattress.

Micha did not immediately respond to the Darien Police Department after the incident, so Milford police detained her at her job.
