Darien Larceny from a Store 2016
Police: Man Accused of Not Paying for $534.74 Golf Club Returns to the Scene of the Crime
|
A man used a PayPal MasterCard to buy a $531.74 golf club from the TriFit Custom Golf store in Darien, but after he left the store, the credit processing company called to say the purchase had been unauthorized. The man returned to the store a month later, however, and was identified. More than four years later, the man was arrested by Darien police. Police gave this account of the case, including accusations not proven in court:
A Yonkers, New York resident, Phillip Thompson, then 21 and now 25, bought the golf club from the store at 365 Post Road on March 22, 2016. In a stroke of luck for the store, Johnson returned a little more than four weeks later, on the morning of April 26, and tried to buy $50 worth of golf balls.
