SHELTON -- A city man was arrested early Thursday after police say he illegally parked in a handicap-designated space, then called police to report what he had done.

Michael Andes, 29, of Howe Avenue, was charged with second-degree breach of peace and interfering with a police officer.

Police received a call around 2 a.m. Thursday from a man who said that he purposely parked his vehicle near 219 Howe Ave. in the handicap spot and added he doesn't have a handicap permit, according to Lt. Robert Kozlowsky, police spokesman.

After police arrived on the scene and found the vehicle, Andes came up to them, yelling and screaming that the police aren't doing their job, Kozlowsky said.

Officers attempted to detain him, but he pulled away and took an aggressive stance at the officers, he added.

Andes was warned to comply with the demands from the officers, but he refused, Kozlowsky said.

He was subsequently Tased and placed under arrest, he added.

Andes was also given an infraction ticket for parking in a handicap space without a permit.

He was released on $1,000 bond and is due in state Superior Court in Derby on Sept. 6.
