Police Say Man Lost Temper, Threw Things In Stamford Salon Over His Haircut

STAMFORD, Conn. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- A man who was unhappy with a haircut was slapped with criminal charges this week, after police said he became enraged and started throwing things around a Connecticut salon.

Stamford Police Sgt. Kelly Connelly said Alan Becker, 47, was angered further when he learned the trim he got on Wednesday morning at the Loft Salon and Spa on Long Ridge Road was going to cost him $50, the Associated Press and CBS affiliate WFSB-TV, Hartford reported.

Connelly said Becker kicked a hole in a salon wall, became hostile toward staff and customers, and threw a candle display and other items, then left.

Becker returned later and demanded that his hair be ``fixed,'' but the salon refused, police alleged.

Authorities later arrested Becker on breach of peace and criminal mischief charges at his Stamford home.

A recording on a phone listing for Becker said it couldn't receive new messages.
