Police: Hartford Man Charged After Stealing, Cashing Paycheck

Officers served a warrant on Anthony Williams, 19, late last week on charges of fifth-degree larceny and third-degree forgery. The warrant was served while Williams, of 124 Barker St. in Hartford, was in Hartford Superior Court for an unrelated case.
