STAMFORD, CT—A city man was held on a $500,000 bond after he failed to show up for court on forgery charges, according to police.

Shyquinn Dix, 21, was staying with a girlfriend in Bridgeport when he was tracked down and arrested, according to the Stamford Advocate.

He was originally arrested after he used a card cracking method to steal money. He deposited a fake $2,000 check in a People's United Bank account and spent the money the next day at Walmart before the bank realized it was a phony check, police said.
