In a statement Monday, police said they investigated a "family dispute" after receiving a "911-hangup call" from an undisclosed source in the home. One officer told The New Canaan Advertiser the dispute involved "some yelling and screaming and pushing."
"It was a minor altercation; sufficient to require an arrest but not significant enough to be called punching or anything like that." (Via News 12 Connecticut)
According to The Hartford Courant, police say "aggressiveness on both sides" resulted in minor injuries but did not go into any more detail.
Police say Simon and Brickell cooperated with officers and both agreed to appear in court Monday.
