A Danbury teen who was being held in prison in an unrelated case has been charged by Bethel Police for an assault that happened last month. 

Kendrick Edwards was in custody at New Haven Corrections.  Bethel Police had a warrant for a disorderly conduct case involving the 18-year old from August 4th.  Bethel officers responded to New Haven Friday and later released Edwards on bond. 

The charges stemmed from an incident at the Howard Johnson.  Officers responded to a call about an argument between Edwards and a relative about making a lot of noise.  The argument turned physical, with Edwards allegedly pushing the complainant, who threw a soda at him.  Edwards allegedly punched the relative several times in the head. 

Last month, Edwards was charged by Danbury Police with two counts of sexual assault, illegal sexual contact, breach of peace and risk of injury to a child.  Those charges stemmed from an incident at Danbury Mall.

He is due back in court on October 29th.
