About two weeks ago, high-profile trial lawyer Michael Stratton stepped down from his position on the New Haven Board of Aldermen, following a sometimes contentious six months on the board. The next day, news broke that a young woman Stratton had been dating had been arrested during a reported domestic dispute at his apartment.

Now, the story has taken another turn: a warrant was issued July 2 for Stratton’s arrest on charges of third-degree assault and second-degree breach of peace stemming from that June 13 incident.
