Greenwich Police were dispatched to 1333 East Putnam Avenue on Sept 34 around 5pm on a report of a person throwing items in the parking lot, and had apparently scratched someone, causing minor injury.
Upon arrival police met Ricardo Rodriguez who was identified through past incidents. Police said Rodriguez was a known emotionally disturbed person without a home who frequents the Town of Greenwich.
Police said Mr. Rodriguez had no explanation regarding the reported incident.
Investigation revealed that Rodriguez was throwing cardboard items within the private parking lot towards the building, causing annoyance and alarm to customers and members of a nearby gym.
