#Bridgeport, Conn. (Nov. 12, 2015) – The Bridgeport Police Department announced that two roommates have been arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and threatening in the 2nd degree. On Monday, November 9, police officers were dispatched to an apartment near the corner of Shelton St. and Pembroke St. after it was reported that a roommate had threatened another roommate with a knife. When police officers arrived, they entered the room of Jaime Feliciano from Bridgeport (DOB: 3/21/1978).
Upon entering Mr. Feliciano’s room, police officers witnessed him holding a spring loaded knife. Once police officers told Mr. Feliciano to put down the knife, he did immediately. Mr. Feliciano stated that he was renting a room from his roommate, Renzo Estuella from Bridgeport (10/30/1960), who was issued an eviction notice by their landlord due to failure to pay rent. Mr. Feliciano also stated that he had been giving Mr. Estuella funds for his half of the rent, and in Mr. Estuella claimed he was giving it to the landlord with his half of the rent. Apparently, Mr. Estuella was lying to the landlord by claiming the Mr. Feliciano’s half of the rent as his own, according to Mr. Feliciano. Mr. Feliciano then stated that when he confronted Mr. Estuella about it, he responded by grabbing a machete and threatening Mr. Feliciano with it. In self defense, Mr. Feliciano grabbed a knife, according to his account. When police officers asked Mr. Renzo if he owned a machete, he said “no.” A quick canvass of Mr. Renzo’s room turned up a machete under his mattress. Mr. Renzo then stated that he did not pull out the machete and threaten Mr. Feliciano with it.
Both Mr. Renzo and Mr. Feliciano were arrested and transported to booking. Mr. Renzo was charged with disorderly conduct, and threatening in the 2nd degree. Bond has been set at $5,000.
