Elliot Wilson, the city building inspector convicted of lying to a federal grand jury, reported to prison in Brooklyn on Tuesday.
Back home in Shelton, no one will tell the public about what has become of his status as a public employee.
Before his incarceration, Wilson told the Valley Indy his lawyer was talking with city officials to try to work out an arrangement where he could retire instead of resign his post.
As of Thursday afternoon, no letter of resignation or retirement had been filed at City Hall, according to the clerk’s office.
Mayor Mark Lauretti did not return phone calls for comment Thursday. On Wednesday, his assistant informed the Valley Indy that he was not going to comment on the issue.
Wilson’s lawyer, Michael Hillis, has not returned calls this week seeking information about the situation. Another message was left with Hillis Thursday afternoon.
Wilson has been on unpaid leave from the post since his guilty plea in January 2010.
He was sentenced to five months in prison, followed by five months on home confinement.
His conviction was part of the federal corruption probe in Shelton, which has targeted exchanges of gifts and money among developers and public officials.
Wilson admitted he had lied when he said he didn’t take gifts, cash and favors, over the past decade as the chief building official in Shelton.
