There were reports of inappropriate behavior in Rogers Park on Saturday.  17 calls came into police over the weekend from that area.  The Deputy Police Chief was made aware of the issue and more police were assigned to enforce Danbury's noise ordinance. 

There were complaints of loud music, double parking, drag racing and drinking in public. 

Mayor Mark Boughton cautioned people to turn the music down, and not to speed.  He notes that people are supposed to gather at public spaces, but to be respectful to those living in the neighborhood.  There was little league game going on in one corner, tennis being played in another and softball league games going on where umpires and coaches needed to hear each other. 

Boughton says there's been a challenge at the park between 5pm and 9pm when the weather is nice.  The City is hiring another noise enforcement officer.  Violators first are issued a warning.  Then it's a $75 fine, which escalates to $150 next.  If someone refuses to turn down their music, at some point the violation turns into a breach of peace charge.
