UPDATE: New Jersey Resident Assaults Man with Baseball Bat in Shelton Parking Lot

A New Jersey man was arrested Thursday after assaulting another man with a baseball bat in Shelton.

Police said Chadwick Adams, 28, of Pleasantville, NJ, was arrested and charged with first-degree assault, carrying a dangerous weapon, first-degree reckless endangerment, second-degree breach of peace and fourth-degree criminal mischief.

The assault occurred in the parking lot of the Hyatt House Hotel on Bridgeport Avenue at approximately 9 a.m.

Responding police found a bloodied man lying on the ground.

A woman at the scene told officers that her husband—Chadwick Adams—had assaulted the man and left in a Mercury Marquis.

About 15 minutes later, Adams was stopped on the Merritt Parkway by state police.

The investigation revealed that Adams had followed his wife to Shelton from New Jersey.

At the hotel, he confronted her regarding an ongoing domestic dispute.

Adams began arguing with the man accompanying his wife and Adams struck him several times with the bat.

The victim was hospitalized with injuries that were not life threatening. Adams’ wife was not injured during the incident.

Adams is being held on a $100,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Derby Superior Court Friday, Dec. 18.
