Police found that state court in Stamford had issued an arrest warrant for DaCruz when he failed to appear in court on charges of driving with a suspended motor vehicle registration in Norwalk on Nov. 17, 2023. His motor vehicle registration had been suspended due to insurance noncompliance.
DaCruz was arrested and later released on a $250 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on April 11.
