Officers called to a Pequot Avenue residence on a report of “multiple stabbings” around 3:30 p.m. broke up a verbal argument turned physical between Alexius Charles Conroy, 30, who lives at the home, and his stepbrother, Daniel Williams, 40, of Old Mystic, police said.
The men, who had been drinking, said they were arguing over Williams’ wife and Thanksgiving, police said.
