Nygel Joseph, age 25, of Stamford, was arrested on a warrant on Wednesday, Sept. 22, after he turned himself in to Darien Police.

The incident took place in January when Darien Police responded to 115 Old Kings Hwy N. for a report fraud complaint.

According to Sergeant Dan Skoumbros, of the Darien Police, Joseph visited the store to have his phone repaired and told store employees that a family member would call with the credit card number for payment.
