Police: Shelton Man Assaulted Woman, Officer Wednesday Night

A Shelton man was arrested by police after he allegedly pulled out a handgun during a domestic dispute and kicked a woman several times in the head.

Police were summoned to a residence in the downtown area last night around 7:45 p.m., said Lt. Robert Kozlowsky, police spokesman.

The victim told police she got into a dispute with Jayson Karczmarczyk, 39. She said he displayed a gun and knocked a phone out of her hand when she was going to call police.

He then allegedly knocked her to the ground and kicked her several times in the head.

A neighbor heard screaming and knocked on the door, which caused Karczmarczyk to stop assaulting the woman, according to police.

When police arrived Karczmarczyk wouldn’t come out of the residence, Kozlowsky said. He resisted officers as they took him into custody.

He was charged with criminal possession of a firearm, third-degree assault, disorderly conducting, interfering with an emergency call and assault on a police officer.

The victim received medical attention for her injuries and a police officer was taken to the hospital after he injured his hand during the arrest.
