After committing disorderly conduct at their residence in Connecticut, world-renowned singer-songwriter Paul Simon and his wife, Edie Brickell were arrested by police officers during the weekend.

According to police officials from New Canaan, Connecticut, their intention of visiting the home of the couple last Saturday night was for the "investigation of a family dispute".

Although the couple was arrested, they were also released shortly after Brickell's mother made a call to the police officials.

The couple was then tried in the presence of a judge in Connecticut last Monday. The couple did not have any previous records against the law so enforcing of protection measures was no longer deemed to be necessary.

This trouble that the couple got itself into could be described as surprising and unlikely. Chief of police remarked, "Both Simon and Brickell are very nice people." He also described the incident as 'minor' and not something to be a cause for worry and undue attention.

After the hearing last Monday, Simon shared, "Eddie and I are fine. In fact, we are going to see our son's baseball game this afternoon."

A holder of Grammy awards for 12 years, Simon started reaching the peak of its popularity through the entertainment duo, Simon and Garfunkel. The duo has been responsible for hits like "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "Mrs. Robinson".

After the duo parted ways in 1971, Simon continued his career as an individual artist. The popularity of Simon could already be manifested with his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall. In fact, he held two distinctions in this body - as a member of the duo and as an individual artist. Simon's wife, Brickell, is also a renowned folk singer. The couple married in 1992 and is blessed with three offsprings.
