Torrington(CT) teens misunderstand screams, allegedly assault man having sex

TORRINGTON -- Four teens were arraigned in Bantam Superior Court on Wednesday, three of them behind closed doors because of their young ages, on charges related to the beating of a Torrington man they thought was harming a woman who was heard screaming in her bedroom June 6.

The alleged victim, 25-year-old Roger Swanson, was in the same room with 34-year-old Melanie Arnold when a 16-year-old girl who was elsewhere in the house overheard sounds at 26 Maud St. Police say the girl, who also lived in the house, believed Arnold was being attacked, and decided to take the law into her own hands instead of calling police.

In fact, police said, the two were having sex.

The 16-year-old returned with four friends, one of whom carried a baseball bat. Of the five, just one is over the age of 17, police said.

“They knocked on the door and were let in,” Police Lt. Bruce Whiteley said.

Dilyen Langdeau, 19, of 279 East Main St., was charged with third-degree assault and conspiracy to commit assault.

Police also charged the 16-year-old girl with assault and carrying a dangerous weapon. Two 17-year-old boys were also charged, one with assault and the other with conspiracy to commit assault.

“Swanson and Arnold had not been fighting,” Police Lt. Bruce Whiteley said. “Arnold was assaulted with a baseball bat and fists, and suffered multiple injuries.”

The injuries were not life threatening. The youths were initially held on $100,000 bond.

“overheard sounds at 26 Maud St”

I’m not a fan of loud women. I once told a gal who was babbling incoherently to shutup! Needless to say I didn’t get a second date.

why did they let them in? and why wouldn’t the kids who more than likely have cell phones just call 911 if they were so concerned? there has to be more to this story.

If it’s that loud she’s also a faker.

How was the 16 year old related to her? Since she was ‘in the house’.

I agree. I have investigating on line but can't find anything further.

My guess is the girl who lives there doesn't like the guy who was having sex and decided to do this.

Hawkeye Pierce: Morning, Frank. Heard from your wife? A bunch of the boys asked me to, uh, ask you, Frank, what Hot Lips was like in the sack. You know, was she...
Frank Burns: Mind your own business.
Hawkeye Pierce: No Frank, you know, is she better than self-abuse? Does that- does that big ass of hers move around a lot, Frank or does it sort of lie there flaccid? What would you say about that?
Duke Forrest: What's Going on over there, is he getting pointers or something?
Trapper John: Oh no, Hawkeye's trying to get him on an appearance tour.
Duke Forrest: Ohhhh, is that a fact?
Hawkeye Pierce: Would you say that she was a moaner, Frank? Seriously Frank. I mean, does she go "ooooh" or does she lie there quiet and not do anything at all?
Frank Burns: Keep your filthy mouth to yourself. Hawkeye Pierce: Or does she go "uh-uh-uh"?
Frank Burns: [Frank leaps over the table and attacks Hawkeye]

Or is she a screamer, Frank?

I prefer the “moaners”. The “screamers” are just too loud.

Don't be so sure. I had downstairs neighbors once where the girl was a screamer, and man was she loud. She also screamed out obscenities that were perfectly understandable. My friends and I would sit upstairs just laughing our butts off listening to her.

Joan Rivers joke on Carson’s Tonight show:
Carson to Rivers: Was the delivery of your baby easy?
Rivers: Yes but my sister had a hell of a time with her pregnancy. She screamed and hollered so everyone around heard her and that was just at the conception.

Since the woman in this story is 34 I’m betting it’s her 16-year-old daughter. She probably gave birth when she was 18. 18 + 16 = 34. Just a hunch, not sure...

Truth can be stranger than fiction.

Years ago, a distressed co-worker who had bought a two family was asking how he could refuse to renew a lease if tenants did nothing wrong.

He had rented the upstairs apartment to a deaf couple of newlyweds.

His children were frightened all the time..."Daddy! He's beating her up again!"

The sounds were inarticulate and very loud. "Like a zoo or something."
