WESTPORT — A 30-year-old man faces a string of charges after he stole a woman’s purse from a car and illegally used her credit card at a local store — a crime he previously carried out in town, police said.

Jonathan Doherty, of Norwalk, was charged Feb. 6 with sixth-degree larceny, credit card theft, illegal use of a credit card, third-degree identity theft and first-degree failure to appear.

A police investigation was launched last Oct. 27 after a purse, found at the Levitt Pavilion, was traced to its owner, who reported it was stolen from her car the previous night. A credit card taken from the purse was used illegally at the CVS pharmacy on Post Road East, police said.

Using video surveillance footage, police identified Doherty as the suspect, according to the report.

Additional evidence in the case was provided by an interaction that day between Doherty and a police officer, according to the report. Footage from the officer’s body camera showed “Doherty was wearing the same clothes and had the same backpack” as in the images from CVS surveillance, which showed the suspect using the stolen credit card, police said.

A warrant for Doherty’s arrest was issued, and he turned himself in Feb. 6 at Police Department headquarters.

In addition to charges linked to the Oct. 27 incident, he was arrested on another warrant for allegedly failing to appear in court in connection with a similar offense in 2021.

Doherty, held on a total $110,000 bond, was scheduled to have been arraigned Feb. 7 at state Superior Court in Stamford.
