A bar fight at on the Post Road early Saturday injured three and resulted in six arrests, Fairfield police said.

The initial report to police stated that a woman in the bar began yelling, “My man is a cop.” The man with her -- later identified as Agustin Crus, 32, of Shelton, reportedly pulled out a wallet with a silver badge and said, “Yeah, I’m a cop!”

Cruz then allegedly pushed a male into a booth and struck a second male at the bar, police said. Another employee was punched in the hubbub.

Three other people became involved in the fight after they pulled a female bartender across the restaurant by her hair and allegedly kicked and punched her along the way, police said.

Emergency personnel were dispatched to the scene. Two victims-- including the aforementioned bartender -- were transported to St. Vincent’s Medical Center for scratches and swelling; a third victim refused medical treatment at the scene.

Cruz reportedly denied saying he was a police officer but admitted he is a volunteer firefighter for Trumbull, police said.  He was charged with criminal impersonation of a police officer and is scheduled to face his charge in court on May 1.

The three women who allegedly dragged the bartender across the bar were each charged with disorderly conduct and third-degree assault. Claribel Rodriguez, 21, and Yulissa Rodriguez, 24, both of Stratford and Glady Rodriguez, 25, of Trumbull are scheduled to appear in court on May 1.

Two other men were charged for their alleged involvement in the fight. Thomas Chanaca, 31, of Easton was charged with disorderly conduct and third-degree assault; Daniel Martinez, 30, of Shelton was charged with third-degree assault. Both are due in court on May 1.

The cause of the argument was unclear, department spokesperson Sgt. Sue Lussier said.

Atticus, Ralph Arnone is next scheduled to appear in court on July 1st, at which point he isRead More expected to enter a plea. As an aside, one isn't supposed to go to bed and wake up still angry at the same thing, day in, day out, week in, week out, month in, month out... I'm not trying to give you a hard time. I care deeply about firefighters and I'm genuinely concerned about you. You were exposed to a lot of chemicals in your career. You may have some endocrine system damage or something causing an electrolyte disorder. This stuff starts out with things like joint pain and minor psychological implications but, it gets much, much worse. Get to the doc. Maybe you're just a spicy guy, maybe Ralph hurt you in some terrible way, or maybe you are sick and as a result, you'll be facing a much shortened a painful life. Honestly, I'm not trying to give you a hard time or pick a fight.

Well thanks for your concern Creeky. But at my age I cant say I have lived a shorten life. As forRead More chemicals...well as most of the posters here on this rag say, firemen do nothing 99.9% of the day so I guess the on chemical exposure would be to the big comfy leather chairs in the dayroom. Why do you care anyway Creeky? In your previous posts about me you said, don't feed to trolls. You are not honest Creeky. Take your fake concern and false "honesty" and waste it on someone else. Not trying to give you a hard time, those are your comments about me. Where did you get the info on Ralphy?

Atticus, review your own posts. It isn't trolling. It's a vendetta. If you think I'm dishonest,Read More fine. I'm not going to try to speak rationally with someone whom is irrational. Why do I care? Because I've seen how much care fireman are capable of, and how much they give of themselves. It's respect and karma. As far as where I got the info, it's publicly available. If you wanted my help in how to find it yourself, perhaps you shouldn't have attacked my character. You are on your own now.
