Man Attempting to Enter Cars at Greenwich Library Had Previous Arrest

A Port Chester man who was caught last month checking unlocked cars for money in a business parking lot has been arrested again.

In February, Nigel Brewington, 24, was charged with two counts of Criminal Attempt Larceny 6.

This week Greenwich Police responded to the Greenwich Library parking lot on West Putnam Ave on a report of a man attempting to enter vehicles. When police located Mr. Brewington he provided false demographic information. Police were able to use the booking information from the similar incident in February and Brewington admitted to pulling on vehicle doors and lying about his demographic information.

He was arrested and charged with Criminal Attempt Larceny 6 and Interfering with an Officer/Resisting.

It was further discovered that there were two active arrest warrants for Mr. Brewington for failure to appear in court. One FTA was for the Attempted Larceny 6 charges in February, and a second FTA was for an incident in December 2023  where he was charged with No Insurance, No License, Operating an Unregistered Motor Vehicle.

Brewington was able to post the 7% cash option of his $10,000 bond and was released. He has a date in Stamford Superior Court on march 25.
