Enfield Man Faces Multiple Charges After Fight

An Enfield man was arrested Tuesday night on a warrant charging him with several offenses connected to a physical disturbance in early August.

Tyler Brennan, 22, of 112 Pearl St., is charged with second-degree assault, third-degree assault, third-degree strangulation and disorderly conduct. He was held on $25,000 bond, and was arraigned Wednesday in Enfield Superior Court.

Deputy Police Chief Gary Collins said police were called to a fight in progress at 112-D Pearl Street around 5:30 a.m. on Aug. 8. By the time officers arrived, Brennan had fled the scene.

A female victim, described as Brennan’s girlfriend, said the incident began as a verbal argument that escalated into a physical fight, during which Brennan allegedly choked her, Collins said.

During the struggle, the woman’s brother entered the apartment and got involved in the fight. At one point, Brennan allegedly broke the leg off a chair and began chasing the male victim with it, then threw the chair leg at the female, Collins said.

Police discovered visible red marks on the female’s neck, corraborating her version of events, Collins said.
