The former Shelton official accused of stealing more than $900,000 from taxpayers pleaded not guilty to the charges at Superior Court in Milford Tuesday (March 12).
A judge continued the case against the official — Sharon Scanlon, the city’s assistant finance director until she resigned last August — to April 23.
Scanlon stands accused of a single count of first-degree larceny and 56 counts of first-degree forgery. She posted $100,000 bond in the case after her arrest in January.
In addition to the criminal charges against her, the city has also filed a civil lawsuit against Scanlon.
In the civil case, the city has filed a motion asking a judge to order Scanlon to disclose property she owns or has an interest in, and whether she has moved any of her assets around since the allegations came to light.
