Man Pulled Gun, Kicked Woman in Head: Cops

A Shelton man was arrested last night after pulling a gun on a woman during a domestic dispute, pushing her to the ground and kicking her in the head, police said.

Police said they received a 911 call reporting a domestic dispute at a downtown home at 7:45 p.m. and met with the 39-year-old victim, who told police that Jayson Karczmarczyk, 39, of Shelton, attacked her, police said.

The woman told police that she and Karczmarczyk had gotten into an argument and he grabbed a gun.

When she tried to call police, Karczmarczyk knocked the phone out of her hand, pushed her to the ground and kicked her in the head several times, she told police.

A neighbor heard the woman screaming and knocked on the door, which stopped Karczmarczyk and gave the victim the chance to get out of the house and eventually receive medical attention for her injuries, according to police.

When officers arrived at the home, Karczmarczyk refused to leave to come out for about an hour, but officers were eventually able to take him into custody.

Karczmarczyk was charged with criminal possession of a firearm, third-degree assault, disorderly conduct, interfering with an emergency call and assault on a police officer.

He was held on a $50,000 bond and is due to be arraigned in Derby Court today.

Police said an officer injured his hand while arresting Karczmarczyk and was taken to the hospital for evaluation.
