WESTPORT, CT — A man, who was wanted in Milford, Stratford, and Stamford, is accused of providing police in Westport with a false name, police said. The man is now being held in lieu of a $150,000 bond, police say and is charged with multiple offenses.

At 5:45 p.m. on June 9, officers responded to the lot of 1086 Post Road East on a report of suspicious individuals driving around the parking lot. Officers found the vehicle occupied by only the female driver who initially lied to officers and stated she was waiting for a female friend to exit the store, police said.

Officers later learned two men had been inside the store, which officers located in the parking lot. Store personnel said the two men males covered their faces while walking past the entrance camera, police said.

They also had gathered a lot of merchandise and placed it on a bench near the door before police vehicles entered the parking lot, police said. Loss prevention later confirmed nothing had been stolen, police said.

Though both males were uncooperative, officers were able to confirm the identity of one of the men on scene, police said. The other male initially refused to provide his name to officers, but later provided a false name, police said.

Once confronted about providing the false name, the suspect identified himself as “Clint Lowery” through which officers learned he had an outstanding warrant out of Milford, police said. “Clint Lowery” was taken into custody and transported to police headquarters on the outstanding warrant, police said.

At headquarters, officers learned that “Clint Lowery” was also a fraudulent name, police said. A driver’s license photo and fingerprint scan confirmed “Clint Lowery” was actually Kahshem Douglas, 28, of New Haven, police said.

Douglas was charged with criminal impersonation and interfering with an officer. He was held in lieu of $5,000 bond.

While investigating the above incident, officers found Douglas had an outstanding warrant out of Stamford, police said. He was charged with first-degree failure to appear and held in lieu of a $150,000 court set bond.

Officers also found that Douglas had another outstanding warrant out of Stratford, police said. He was charged with second-degree failure to appear.
