An ongoing investigation into a public disturbance at the Jennings Beach Skate Park in early March lead to the arrest of Fairfield resident Alexander Dacosta on Friday, police said.

Dacosta, 20, of Warwick Avenue, was charged with breach of peace and second-degree reckless endangerment after police arrested him on a warrant. Police believe Dacosta was operating the vehicle that was reportedly driving recklessly in the parking lot and performing donuts.

Dacosta allegedly assaulted the off-duty Trumbull police officer who reportedly told Dacosta and a few others -- including a juvenile who was charged with second-degree breach of peace in April -- to stop driving recklessly in the parking lot.

The officer reportedly tried to turn off Dacosta’s car and take the keys, at which point the two struggled and the aforementioned juveniles allegedly punched the officer in the chest, according to the police report.

Dacosta was released on a promise to appear in court on May 14.
