Enfield Man Charged With Burglary, Larceny

ENFIELD, CT — An Enfield man with a sizable criminal record was arrested early Christmas morning after allegedly gaining access to the home of a woman with a protective order against him.

Stacey D. Williams, 29, was charged with disorderly conduct, violation of a protective order, first-degree burglary, sixth-degree larceny, first-degree criminal trespass and possession of burglar tools.

He is being held in lieu of $100,000 bond, and is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in Enfield Superior Court.

Deputy Police Chief Gary Collins said officers were summoned to a home on Laurel Park just after midnight Sunday. A woman residing there said Williams had entered her home despite an existing protective order against him, then got into a verbal argument and stole her phone, valued at $500.

The woman told police Williams may be found at a nearby relative's home, and he was tracked down there and arrested.

Williams has twice been convicted on felony charges: third-degree burglary in 2007, and second-degree strangulation in 2011. He also has five misdemeanor convictions on his record, according to the state's judicial web site.

He has four prior cases pending in Enfield Superior Court, with charges including threatening, burglary, violating a protective order, larceny and engaging police in pursuit.
