Yorktown Cops: Man, 29, Faces More Identity Theft Charges

A 29-year-old Cortlandt Manor man, who was arrested earlier this month for identity theft, is facing more felony charges in Yorktown, police said. 

Darrell A. Matthews was arrested on March 12 and charged with second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument and second-degree identity theft, both felonies.

Police said the arrest stems from a Feb. 11 incident when the man used a forged credit card using the personal identifying information of another man to purchase $386.85 worth of merchandise.

Matthews was processed, released on previously posted bail and was scheduled to appear in Yorktown Town Court on April 9.

The man was previously arrested on March 1 for having used a Yorktown woman's credit card information to spend $504 at Radio Shack and $386 at KMart, police said. He also used a Briarcliff Manor woman's credit card information and purchased a $322 video game.
