Dog Sitting Snafu Leads to Brawl in Vernon: Cops

VERNON, CT — An argument over dog sitting at a Prospect Street residence turned into a brawl that sent one person to the hospital and left two with criminal charges, police said.

The incident took place at 3 p.m. Monday at 28 Prospect St., police said.

Donna Armstrong, 51, and John Rogers, 54, both of that address, were both charged with second-degree breach of peace, according to a police report. They are scheduled for May 22 court appearances.

According to a police report, Armstrong was looking for a dog she was sitting for around the home, when, in fact, the dog was still at the house. That led to an argument with Rogers at first, then a fight broke out that required an ambulance to be sent to the home, according to a report.

Both were charged at Rockville general Hospital, police said.
