New Haven resident Perry Charnas, age 39, was arrested by New Haven Police on an open warrant Tuesday, April 9.

According to Wilton Police, Charnas attempted to impersonate an FBI agent after making several phone calls to the agency in October 2022. During the calls, he allegedly made a false report about a domestic incident at an address in Wilton.

No other details about the alleged crimes were released.

Charnas is charged with criminal impersonation and two counts of false reporting. He was held on a $30,000 bond ahead of his arraignment at Stamford Superior Court. 

No stranger to the court system, Charnas worked as a temporary paralegal for the Connecticut Judicial Branch in New Haven County Court from March 2018 to June 2019 before resigning, a court spokesperson confirmed to Daily Voice.
