A Stamford man who police said tried to use someone elses I.D. at a New Canaan drug store Saturday was arrested after he allegedly threatened the stores manager.
Torrian R. Hodge, 21, of Hope Street, Stamford, was charged with disorderly conduct, criminal impersonation and second-degree threatening. Police said Hodge purchased more than $100 in items from the CVS Pharmacy on Park Street at about 8 p.m. He returned to the store about 45 minutes later to ask for a refund without his receipt. Police said the manager asked him for a drivers license and Hodge handed her a state I.D. card with a picture that did not resemble him. Police said he swore and raised his voice at the manager and tried to get the I.D. card back. Police said Hodge left as the manager called 911. Hodge was arrested in the stores parking lot.
He was released on $1,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court March 11.
