'Family Violence Incident' Leads To 2 Arrests: Glastonbury Police

GLASTONBURY, CT — A man and a woman each face several charges after multiple officers responded to an incident at the woman's Glastonbury home, police said.

Glastonbury police described the Feb. 15 incident as both a "reported domestic disturbance" and a "family violence incident," and they said it took place at a residence on the New London Turnpike.
