WESTPORT — A New York man faces multiple charges after police said he tried to impersonate an account holder at a local bank in an attempt to illegally obtain a debit card.

William Schwarz, 60, of Newburgh, N.Y., was charged June 30 with second-degree identity theft, criminal impersonation, second-degree forgery, payment card theft, criminal attempt to illegally use a payment card and illegal use of a payment card.

The charges were filed after police were called to the TD Bank office on Main Street about 5 p.m. June 30 to investigate a complaint about suspected fraud.

Bank officials told officers that a man, who identified himself as “Edward Tucker” and had presented a Pennsylvania driver’s license with that name, was believed to be impersonating a bank account holder by the same name.

Officials at the Westport bank had been alerted that an “Edward Tucker” was suspected of attempted fraud at a Norwalk office of TD Bank earlier in the day, according to the police report.

Officials at the Norwalk bank also advised their Westport counterparts that they had contacted the account holder, who confirmed he was in Pennsylvania and not traveling in Connecticut, police said.

After questioning Schwarz, who was still at the Westport bank when police arrived, he admitted that he was not “Edward Tucker” and disclosed his real name, according to the report.

Police determined the Pennsylvania driver’s license held by Schwarz was forged, and that he also had a fraudulent Wells Fargo bank card bearing the name “Edward Tucker.”

Schwarz was placed under arrest and held on $50,000 bond. He was transported the next day for arraignment at state Superior Court in Stamford.
