A West Hartford attorney was arrested Wednesday for allegedly stealing more than $250,000 from the political action committee that he oversaw as its treasurer.
The State of Connecticut Division of Criminal Justice says that 56-year-old Michael Cronin, was arrested on a warrant charging him with larceny.
According to the arrest warrant affidavit, Cronin was the treasurer of the Senate Republican Leadership Committee from 2007-2018 when irregularities were detected.
An investigation then determined that Cronin stole about $267,800 from that committee in between 2012 and 2018, for his personal use.
Cronin was terminated from the committee and arrested. He was released on a $50,000 bond.
