The investigation that followed the incident revealed McCray on video surveillance depositing the check into his personal bank account at a bank in Springfield, which helped to identify the suspect.
McCray was charged with third-degree larceny and third-degree forgery. He was released on a $25,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on Wednesday, Dec. 26.
