A New York man is back in Connecticut to face charges after authorities say he played a role in siphoning roughly $150,000 from the town of Wilton through a stolen check tied to the new police headquarters project. The June 3, 2026 arraignment marks the second arrest in a long running probe into missing municipal funds, and police say they are still not done digging.
Arrest and charges
According to Newport Dispatch, the suspect was taken into custody with help from the NYPD Bronx Warrant Squad and brought to Connecticut to face charges. He was arraigned on June 3, 2026 on counts of first degree larceny and conspiracy to commit first degree larceny. Investigators believe about $150,000 was stolen using a check associated with Wilton’s new police headquarters project, according to that reporting.
Background on the check probe
The case traces back to a red flag raised by Wilton’s finance office, which spotted a missing payment linked to the police headquarters construction. Good Morning Wilton reported that in July 2025, a previous arrest followed surveillance footage that appeared to show a man using a forged ID to open a bank account and deposit a stolen municipal check. That earlier case involved another Bronx man, identified as Davis Segui. At the time, detectives said that arrest did not close the book on potential co conspirators, and the investigation has continued.
What the charges mean
Under Connecticut law, larceny in the first degree generally covers cases where the value of stolen property tops $20,000, so the alleged loss in this case would fall into Class B felony territory. Conspiracy cases are handled under C.G.S. § 53a-48 and are typically charged at the same level as the underlying crime. For the statutes themselves, see C.G.S. § 53a-122 on Justia and the chapter on inchoate offenses at the Connecticut General Assembly site.
What’s next
Court records will show upcoming hearings and any bail decisions as the case moves forward. Newport Dispatch notes this is the second arrest tied to the check investigation, and Wilton police say the probe is still active. Officials have not offered additional public comment so far.
