Stamford Man Arrested After Throwing Fit Over Haircut

A man who was unhappy with his haircut faces criminal charges after police say he became enraged and threw items around a Stamford salon.

According to Stamford police Sgt. Kelly Connelly, Alan Becker, 47, grew even more upset when he learned the trim he got Wednesday morning would cost him $50.

Connelly said Becker kicked a hole in a salon wall, became hostile toward staff and customers, and threw a candle display and other items, then left.

Becker returned later and demanded his hair be "fixed," but the salon refused, according to police.

Authorities later arrested Becker on breach of peace and criminal mischief charges at his Stamford home.

A recording on a phone listing for Becker said it couldn't receive new messages. It's not clear if he has a lawyer.
