Colchester town employee sentenced for embezzlement
A longtime Colchester town employee has been sentenced to two months in prison for stealing more than $40,000 from the town for gambling.
Fifty-four-year-old Howard Daniels was sentenced Thursday to two months in prison by Judge Susan B. Handy in New London Superior Court.
Police say Daniels was pocketing cash for several years while working as the gatekeeper of the town's transfer station.
Prosecutors say Daniels and his wife ran up losses of $51,000 at Mohegan Sun between 2001 and 2006. Prosecutors recommended 15 months in prison.
Howard Daniels already has made restitution of $41,000 to the town in part by taking a second mortgage on his home.
