A 55-year-old South Salem, N.Y. woman was arrested by warrant at about 2:30 p.m. on Feb. 19, more than three years after she was accused of writing a bad check to a New Canaan business.
She turned herself in on a warrant obtained in connection with a September 2010 case, according to police. A cosmetic doctor’s center in town told police that the woman’s $795 check bounced and that she had never settled up with them, Sgt. Carol Ogrinc said.
The woman was released on $1,000 bond and scheduled to appear March 4 in state Superior Court in Norwalk.

This is a blackjack.
The lights around the man’s license plate were out, and after stopping him on Carter Street, police found two weapons—an expandable police-style baton and a “blackjack” (pictured at right), according to a police report. Weapons, with the exception of items such as guns that are permitted, are disallowed in motor vehicles by law in the state.
The man was charged with two counts of weapons in a motor vehicle, misuse of plate (it was registered to his wife’s car, police said), operating an unregistered motor vehicle and driving with no insurance.
He was released on $500 bond and scheduled to appear March 4 in state Superior Court in Norwalk.
