Man Charged After Lurking Outside Fairfield Woman's Window: Cops

FAIRFIELD, CT — A Huntington man was charged last week after a woman called police in the early morning hours to report that he was outside her bedroom window, according to law enforcement.

Christopher A. Decarvalho, 41, was charged with second-degree stalking, second-degree breach of peace, violating a criminal protective order and narcotics possession, police said.

The woman called authorities about 5 a.m. Friday after her home surveillance camera activated, and she saw the silhouette of a person next to her bedroom window, according to police. When officers arrived at the home, located near the Bridgeport border, they found Decarvalho hiding near the window and arrested him, police said.

Decarvalho had a small amount of fentanyl at the time and there was an active order of protection against him on the woman’s behalf, according to police.

“This incident appears to be isolated to the individuals involved who are known to each other,” Lt. Antonio Granata said in an email.

Decarvalho remains in custody on $30,000 bond, according to court records. He has yet to enter a plea and his next court date is April 16, court records said.
