Update 12:42 p.m., Friday:
The man charged with entering a woman’s car at McGuane Park in Darien was arrested by New Canaan police soon afterward when he was found trying to get into cars at Waveny Park, according to police reports from both towns. Here’s NewCanaanite.com’s article by Michael Dinan about New Milford resident Scott Palmenta’s arrest in that town, followed by Darienite.com’s original article on Thursday:
New Canaan police on Wednesday afternoon arrested a 45-year-old New Milford man following reports that he had been trying to enter parked cars at Waveny Park. At about 4:05 p.m. on Nov. 16, officers arrived at Waveny and, following an investigation that included witness statements, charged the man with criminal attempt to third-degree burglary and criminal attempt to commit sixth-degree larceny, according to a police report. Police said they stopped short of bringing more serious charges because it did not appear that the man had physically entered any vehicles at the park, the report said.
