Ryan Wiechnicki was charged with burglary, theft and criminal mischief following the River Road break-in through a front door window just before 2 a.m. yesterday, Detective Kevin Van Saders said.
Detectives who reviewed the store’s video surveillance also tied Wiechnicki to a previous attempted burglary at the same Krausers less than 24 hours earlier, Van Saders said.
They released him on a court summons.
Wiechnicki was free on bail after authorities in April charged him with molesting a 15-year-old classmate backstage at the Ridgefield High School auditorium (SEE: Ridgefield High School special needs student, 21, charged with molesting classmate).
Police said Wiechnicki was participating in the district’s STRIVE program where dozens of developmentally disabled students aged 18-21 who have completed their high school academic requirements learn and practice skills that will prepare them for life.
