Wilton Police Charge Man With Stalking And Harassment

WILTON, CT — On Thursday, police apprehended a Wethersfield man for whom Norwalk Superior Court issued an arrest warrant, following an investigation begun in January.

While investigating harassment complaints, through spoofed and anonymous phone numbers, police were able to identify Scott Cremins, 42, of Center Street, as a suspect.

"The accused continued this activity for several months and began to harass other victims that were related to the original female victim," according to the police report. Detectives were able to serve search warrants on several of the telephone companies that enabled them to identify the accused as a responsible person.

Police obtained additional search warrants that authorized the search of Cremins' vehicle and home in Wethersfield.

These search warrants provided valuable information linking Cremins to numerous dating sites and texting apps, leading investigators to believe that the accused may have created numerous fake profiles and could be harassing others, according to police.

Police say they also learned that Cremins stalked the female victim at her home and work on at least two occasions

Cremins was arrested by Wethersfield Police and turned over to Wilton detectives. He charged with second-degree harassment and second-degree stalking. He posted a $2,500 bond and was scheduled to appear before Stamford Superior Court last Friday.
