The following are Sept. 8’s arrests:
BREACH OF PEACE
Two 16-year-old Greenwich boys were arrested Sept. 1 after an incident at the Arch Street Teen Center. Police responded to a report of intoxicated teens. One of the boys allegedly became belligerent and argumentative with officers, police said, and, after disregarding repeated requests to calm down, began cursing, punched a couch and then attempted to leave. He was charged with second degree breach of peace. The other boy was charged with risk of injury as police believe he supplied the alcohol. Both were released on promises to appear and are due in court Sept. 17.
LARCENY
Claire Barker, 45, of Brooklyn, N.Y. was arrested Sept. 5 and charged with second degree larceny, identity theft, interfering with an officer, criminal impersonation and third degree forgery. Police responded to a report that a fraudulent check was cashed at CitiBank for $5,200. Barker had allegedly misidentified herself as the person the check was made out to using a fake driver’s license from Washington D.C. She then went to CitiBank in Stamford and reportedly tried to do the same thing, but was arrested in the act. Police said during the booking, Barker insisted her name was Diane Simmons but admitted it was a fake when confronted by officers. Police said Barker has an “extensive history” of identity theft crimes. The money she received from the first incident was not recovered and police reports said she refuses to provide any information. Barker was held in lieu of a $50,000 and is due in court Sept. 12.
LARCENY
Robert Randall, 53, was arrested Sept. 6 and charged with sixth degree larceny, operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license, operating an unregistered motor vehicle and operating an uninsured motor vehicle.

He was held in lieu of a $1,000 cash bond and due in court Sept. 8.
PROTECTIVE ORDER
A 50-year-old Greenwich man was arrested Sept. 7 and charged with violation of a protective order. The man allegedly violated a protective order his wife had in place against him by keeping her from leaving her home and deflating her tires. The man was released on a $1,000 cash bond and was due in court Sept. 8.
ASSAULT
A 25-year-old Greenwich man and a 21-year-old Greenwich woman were arrested Sept. 8 after a reported domestic incident.
