A Danbury man was arrested Wednesday after police said he was begging for money at Walmart.
Police were dispatched to the store, 67 Newtown Road, Danbury, for a report of an unwanted person at about 5 p.m. When they arrived, the suspect was in custody of Walmart security personnel, who said the man was panhandling and bothering customers, according to the report.
Justin D. Balzarini, 19, was charged with third-degree criminal trespass, breach of peace and panhandling.
After his arrest, police learned customers had called Walmart security to report that he was spitting on cars and begging for money in the parking lot, police said.
Balzarini is being held on a $1,500 bond.
He also was charged March 15 with criminal mischief and breach of peace, according to the state Department of Justice website. He’s scheduled to appear in court April 13 to respond to those charges.
