Paul Simon and his wife, Edie Brickell, were arrested this weekend and charged with disorderly conduct. Some news outlets are reporting that domestic violence charges occurred as well.
The Associated Press reported,
“A caller from the singers’ New Canaan home dialed 911 Saturday night and hung up, police chief Leon Krolikowski said at a news conference Monday. Officers who responded found minor injuries and believed it was a case of domestic violence, he said. He did not say who was injured.
Simon and Brickell, who have been married for more than two decades, were each given a misdemeanor summons and one of them agreed to leave and go to another location, Krolikowski said.
“There was aggressiveness on both sides,” he said. “They’re both victims and they have children involved and we’re trying to be very cautious of that.”
The two are set to appear in court today.
