Police: Two Men Arrested After Dispute Between Cousins in Middletown

Two men were arrested after windows were smashed following a family dispute.

Police got a call on June 24 on a report of shots being fired in front of a residence on Chauncey Road.

It was reported that a man was walking in front of the home and shot out the front windows before leaving in a white Lexus.

Police secured the residence and found none of the residents were injured.

The Lexus was pulled over on Route 9 northbound.

Residents said that around 9:30 p.m. they heard several loud bangs coming from the front o the house and then through two windows. They hit the ground and waited for police to secure the scene.

There have been ongoing issues between a resident of the house and his cousin Nick Saraceno, police said. The most recent was over a girl they both like.

A resident identified the man in the Lexus, Alfred Yelling, as the same man seen outside of the residence, police said.

Both men denied being part of the incident.

A stun gun was also found in the car, police said.

Officers determined that the impact at the windows came from a fixed object located in the vehicle.

Saraceno, 24, of Plainville and Yelling, 43, of New Britain were arrested and charged with weapons in vehicles, risk of injury to a child, second-degree criminal mischief, breach of peace and second-degree reckless endangerment.
