The three were in a local hotel when Sean Hale asked his brother to leave the room so and he and the woman could have sex, Davis said. Aric Hale refused and the two started swinging punches at each other and trashing the room, Davis said.

Police arrested the brothers later at an Ellington residence. Aric Hale was charged with two counts each of third-degree assault and disorderly conduct and one count of third-degree criminal mischief. Sean Hale was charged with two counts of disorderly conduct and one count of third-degree criminal mischief.

The brothers each posted bail of $10,000 and both are slated to appear in Manchester Superior Court on Feb. 7.
