HAMDEN — Sheriff Craig S. DuMond announced the arrest of a Hamden resident for driving while intoxicated following a domestic dispute.

On Friday evening, September 12th, Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to a domestic dispute in the Town of Hamden. Upon arrival and interview with the caller, it was reported that the other person involved had been drinking and had left the residence operating a motor vehicle. A short while later, Deputies observed a vehicle arriving back at the residence and the operator was identified as 43- year-old Christopher Langford.

During the course of the interview process, Deputies made observations that led them to believe that Langford may be impaired. Upon completion of their investigation, Sheriff’s Deputies arrested and charged Langford with Driving While Intoxicated and Driving While Intoxicated with a BAC over .08%, both unclassified misdemeanors of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law.

Upon completion of the arrest processing, Langford was released on appearance tickets returnable to the Town of Hamden Court at a later date.
