DUI
Robert Kucharski, 56, of Port Chester, N.Y. was arrested March 22 and charged with driving under the influence. A patrol unit on West Putnam Avenue reportedly saw a vehicle in front of it swerving to the right and nearly hitting a bicyclist. The vehicle was pulled over and Kucharski allegedly smelled of alcohol and had slurred speech and red, glassy eyes. Police said he failed field sobriety tests. He was also charged with failure to drive in an established lane. Kucharski was released on a $250 cash bond and is due in court April 7.

PROVIDING ALCOHOL
Stephanie Slifer, 18, of 138 Josephine Evaristo Ave. and Gregory Belicka, 18, were arrested March 22 and charged with providing alcohol to minors. Police responded to the report of a loud party at Slifer’s house and reportedly found a group of 14 teens, 16 to 18 years old, drinking beer and vodka spiked fruit punch. Slifer was the host of the party and daughter of the homeowner, who was not home at the time. Slifer and Belicka were released on a $250 cash bond and are due in court March 31.

ASSAULT
A 41-year-old Greenwich man was arrested March 24 and charged with disorderly conduct, strangulation, interfering with a 911 call, second degree unlawful restraint and third degree assault. Police responded to a 911 hang up. Officers reportedly heard a woman’s voice at the scene calling for police and a man threatening to hurt her. Upon arrival, police determined the man and woman had an argument and he grabbed her by her neck and threw her to the ground before kicking her several times. Investigators determined when she tried to call 911 he interfered with the call and tried to muffle her screams with his hand and a napkin. The woman was taken to Greenwich Hospital for treatment of her injuries. The man was being held in lieu of a $10,000 cash bond and appeared in court March 24.
