"We definitely have enough for an arrest warrant," Greenwich Police Cheif David Ridberg said. "The prosecutors feel that we don't have enough for a conviction."

Ridberg would not identify the suspect or discuss that person's connection to the whistle-blower, other than to say that the key witness was a woman who had a personal relationship with the counterfeiter.

Police look for fake beach card witnesses
Police are trying to bolster their criminal case against an alleged counterfeiter who gave friends fake beach cards, one that relies heavily on a single whistle-blower with ties to the suspect, Chief David Ridberg said yesterday....
..."The woman who dropped off the stuff, one can infer she has something to gain from the other person going down," Ridberg said. "So, therefore, we have to overcome the stigma that the suspect is being setup."...
...A message seeking comment from Assistant State's Attorney Steve Weiss was left yesterday at his Stamford office.
First Selectman Peter Tesei said the alleged forgery of town documents should not be taken lightly.
"That's why I felt from the very beginning it should be handled by police," Tesei said. "Obviously, the objective is to present as strong a case as possible that will result in a conviction. There are some nuances about it that certainly make it more complex than it should be."....
...Greenwich Time received a binder with materials similar to those described by town officials. It contained photocopies of beach cards from the 2005 and 2006 seasons with the names of several individuals and their supposed addresses, which were all in Old Greenwich.
None of the individuals named were listed in telephone directories at the addresses printed on the cards, however. One of the individuals was listed as a Stamford resident.
Photocopies of beach parking stickers from the 2006 and 2004 seasons also were included, as well as several marina permits from 2006.
