NEW CANAAN, Conn. -- Singer Paul Simon and his musician wife Edie Brickell have been arrested on disorderly conduct charges.

Simon has lived in New Canaan since 2007.

Simon married Brickell -- his third wife -- on May 30, 1992. They have three children together.

Simon is a 12-time Grammy winner and a member of The Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame -- as half of the duo of Simon and Garfunkel and as a solo artist.

Brickell's "What I Am," recorded with her band the New Bohemians, was a hit in 1988.
