Police detectives worked with City Hall building management and security personnel to identify the suspect, Tejada said.
During the investigation, detectives reviewed surveillance footage and determined the suspect had also entered the town clerk's office, according to Tejada.
Tejada said detectives soon identified the suspect as Terrill Kelly, 31, of New Canaan, who they also determined was currently on probation.
Detectives applied for and were granted an arrest warrant for Kelly, Tejada said.
According to Tejada, members of the United States Marshals Service Violent Fugitive Task Force located and arrested Kelly on Sept. 8 in the Bronx, N.Y.
Police traveled to Rikers Island in New York City on Tuesday and extradited Kelly back to Norwalk police headquarters, where he was processed on the outstanding warrant, according to Tejada.
Kelly was charged with voyeurism with malice.
His bond was set at $50,000 and he is scheduled to appear in court later this month, according to Tejada.
