On July 20 around 12:30am, Greenwich Police responded to a residence in Pemberwick after a report of a 911 hang up call with a female screaming, “Get out.”
Police said their investigation determined that Michael Rinello, 45, of Greenwich had punched and choked the victim and punched a television screen, causing it to shatter. Further they said Rinello had a full contact order on file protecting the victim from the offender.
Rinello was arrested and charged with Disorderly Conduct, Violation of Protective Order, Assault 3 and Strangulation 3.
He was assigned a court appearance later the same day.
His bond was set at $10,000, which he was unable to post.
Rinello has a history with Greenwich Police.
