NEW MILFORD — A Greek Orthodox priest was arrested last week for striking his wife’s live-in aide because he was put off by the smell of her cooking, police said.
The Rev. Eleftherios Stavrakis, of Littlefield Road, was charged with disorderly conduct and domestic violence, according to New Milford police spokesman Lt. Larry Ash. Under state law, a person is guilty of domestic violence if it is determined that he or she physically abused a “family or household member or person in dating relationship.”
Stavrakis was released on $10,000 bond and arraigned Monday in Bantam Superior Court.
The incident occurred shortly after 9 a.m. on Friday, police said.
