On Tuesday Greenwich Police went all the way to Nevada to extradite a suspect wanted in connection to a robbery at the consignment shop at 115 Mason Street on June 25, that ended with an employee being run over and seriously injured.
Police say that Kristen McKenzie attempted to shoplift several items from the shop, and was confronted by store employees outside the store. Also that Lamoine Ward used his vehicle to strike one of the store employees. After striking the employee, he pointed a firearm at the employee while he lay on the ground.
In September Ms McKenzie turned herself in on an active arrest warrant for the charges of Robbery 1st, Larceny 4th, and Conspiracy to Commit Larceny 4th. Her bond was set at $1,500,000.
Back in August, the suspect, Lamoine Ward, now 26, was arrested by the Las Vegas Metro Police Department on multiple criminal charges. When Las Vegas Police learned Greenwich Police Dept had an arrest warrant for Lamoine, it was served while he was in their custody.
Ward was held on bond. Since the charges in Nevada have been settled, Ward was available to be extradited back to Connecticut.
In Greenwich he was charged this week with Robbery 1st, Assault 1st, and Conspiracy to Commit Larceny 4th.
His bond was set at $150,000 and he has a court date in Stamford on Nov 8, 2022. He was unable to post his bond and was placed in a GPD cell block.
