Police last week arrested a 46-year-old Bronx, N.Y. man after he tried to use a fake ID to withdraw money from a local bank.
At about 1:51 p.m. last Friday, officers were dispatched to Bankwell on a report of a person inside with a fraudulent ID card, according to police.
Arriving officers found him and “in plain view noticed a fraudulent CT driver’s license,” according to a police report.
After identifying the man, police investigated and found that he had tried to withdraw funds, the report said, establishing probable cause for criminal attempt at third-degree larceny (where the value of property is greater than $2,000, under state law), first-degree forgery, second-degree forgery and second-degree identity theft.
He also was charged with use of drug paraphernalia, though police did not say why.
The man was held on $50,000 bond and scheduled to appear Monday in state Superior Court. He’s still being held on that bond and his arraignment now is scheduled for July 8, according to Connecticut Judicial Branch records.
