Man Accused Of Trying To Force Woman Out Of Car: Wallingford Police

WALLINGFORD, CT — A Wallingford man is accused of trying to force a woman out of the driver’s side of a vehicle on Route 5 on Monday night in a domestic incident, according to police.

Police responded around 8 p.m. on July 7 to a call from a witness saying they saw a man trying to force a woman out of the driver's side of a black Honda CRV heading north on Route 5 near Yale Avenue in Wallingford, according to Lt. Stephen Jaques.

Jaques said officers stopped the vehicle nearby and made contact with 60-year-old Michael Castellon, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

“They ordered Castellon to exit the car and instructed him to put his hands behind his back,” Jaques wrote in a news release. “Castellon resisted briefly and was handcuffed after a short struggle.”

Castellon was arrested on charges of second-degree breach of peace and interfering with a police officer. He was released after posting a $2,500 bond and was scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.
