MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury police between Oct. 12 and 18 were three times called upon to calm disagreements between couples. None of the situations involved physical violence and police arrested no one. 
On Oct. 15 two officers calmed a splitting couple long enough to allow a man to remove belongings from a Court Street apartment. Later that day, police investigated a separate, alleged incident involving a child custody dispute at a Valley View residence and determined the complaint to be unfounded.
