Middletown Police Make Arrest in Connection With Teen's Balcony Fall

Police have arrested a 21-year-old man in connection with a teen's three-story fall from a Middletown balcony earlier this week.

James Brown Jr. has been charged with third-degree assault, risk of injury to a minor, second-degree reckless endangerment and second-degree breach of peace.

Police haven't said how Brown is linked to the case but that he was somehow involved when a 15-year-old boy fell from a third-floor balcony at 70 Ferry Street the night of April 20.

The teen was taken to Hartford Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

Brown was released after posting $75,000 bond.
