The 46-year-old who took his own life by leaping off the ledge of Times Square rooftop bar was facing criminal charges relating to a domestic dispute days prior, according to police records. Connecticut financier Dale Cheney’s wife, Lauren, had taken out a restraining order against him, and he was charged with criminal mischief and disorderly conduct over a Jan. 16 incident at their $3.8 million New Canaan home. The two had recently filed for divorce, according to the Daily Mail, just a couple of days before Cheney would take his life off the side of Bar 54 atop the Hyatt Centric Times Square hotel on 45th street. Police had made previous visits to the couple’s home in 2008 related to other domestic disturbances that were allegedly over finances, according to law enforcement sources that spoke with the New York Post.
