A Stamford man who told a 911 dispatcher that he had killed his girlfriend -- a claim that he later recanted -- was arrested Jan. 18, according to Greenwich police. Henry Jara-Villamarin, 19, of 45 Halpin Ave., was charged with second-degree falsely reporting an incident and falsely reporting an incident concerning serious injury or death.

Upon arrival, officers found a man and a woman in a vehicle in the parking lot, police said.

When she refused, he grabbed her phone and dialed 911, police said. According to Jara-Villamarin, he told the 911 operator he had killed his girlfriend so police would arrive faster, police said. He was issued a $5,000 bond and was scheduled to appear in state Superior Court in Stamford Wednesday.

A New York man gave Greenwich police a fake name and birth date when he was stopped Jan. 18 because the car he was driving crossed a double yellow line, police said. Carlos F.
