Fleeing Larceny Suspect Also Had 6 Warrants: Enfield Police

ENFIELD, CT — A Hartford resident who tried fleeing the Home Depot store in Enfield with a cart full of items Friday turned out to have six outstanding warrants against him, including three felonies.

Around 11 a.m., Scott Kaminski, 35, tried to pass a cashier in the store's garden department with the full cart, plus a Ring doorbell camera in his possession. A foot pursuit into the parking lot ended with help from a citizen; after being taken into custody, Kaminski gave police his twin brother's name, Chief Alaric Fox said.

He complained of shortness of breath and was taken to Johnson Memorial Hospital in Stafford. Upon his release, he attempted to flee again, but was caught by police and hospital security officers, Fox said.

Kaminski was charged with fifth-degree larceny, criminal impersonation and interfering with an officer. He was subsequently charged on three felony violation of probation warrants and three warrants for second-degree failure to appear in court. He was held on bonds totaling $155,000, and was arraigned Monday in Hartford Superior Court.
