Port Chester Woman Accused Of Smashing Boyfriend's TV

The pair of boots on the ground in front of the building — thrown from a window — gave Port Chester police officers an early sign that they would find trouble when they went inside a Travis Avenue home.

While checking out a call about possible fight, police found that a dispute between a Port Chester woman and her boyfriend had led to a broken 48-inch flat screen TV in their 45 Travis Ave. apartment.

The incident began, police said, about 6 a.m. on May 26, when Renita Santos, 32, came home. Police said her boyfriend, a 25-year-old Port Chester resident, was upset that she had gotten home so late.

Police said this led to an argument and a struggle in which the boyfriend yelled for neighbors to get help. During the agrument, police said Santos is accused of going into a bedroom and pushing the $800 TV of its stand and then using a clothes iron to smash the TV.

The boyfriend filed a complaint against Santos and she was charged with third-degree criminal mischief for smashing the TV.
