    Police: Ice cream truck driver impersonated wanted man

    Hartford — Police say a Connecticut man tried to impersonate someone with an active arrest warrant after being found in an ice cream truck with a 13-year-old boy.

    Tylon Jarrett, of Hartford, allegedly told police he was someone else when they stopped him on Wednesday.

    The 36-year-old was arrested and charged with one count of criminal impersonation and interfering with an officer.

    Jarrett has been convicted of second-degree sexual assault and is serving 16 years of probation. Police say he was forbidden to be around anyone under the age of 16.

    The boy told investigators that he was training Jarrett to work as an ice cream truck driver.

    He is being held on $10,000 bond and is due in court in July. It is not clear if he has an attorney.
