Westport Woman Causes Disturbance, Spits at Officer: Police

WESTPORT, CT - A 54-year-old Westport woman, allegedly upset over the way her Post Road East neighbors were parking, was arrested Saturday after creating a disturbance and spitting in the face of a local police officer.

Durri Fishkind, of 1655 Post Road East, allegedly screamed at neighbors and banged on their windows while arguing with them about how they were parking at the housing complex, according to police.

"Officers located Fishkind at [unit] #74, who was extremely uncooperative," wrote police in a statement about the 8 p.m. incident. "Fishkind was yelling and swearing at the officers, including racial comments."

The nature of the alleged racial comments was not disclosed, but while officers were arresting Fishkind on a charge of Breach of Peace, she spit in the face of an officer and was additionally charged with Interfering with an Officer, according to police.

She is scheduled to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on June 7.
