A former state’s attorney has been charged with stealing at least $60,000 from a prosecutors’ union and public funds intended for crime victims and charities.
L. Mark Hurley faces 198 counts of second-degree forgery, two counts of first-degree larceny and two counts of fifth-degree larceny. State troopers say he turned himself in at the Bethany state police barracks.
The 48-year-old Trumbull resident posted a $100,000 bond and is set to be arraigned April 23 at Middletown Superior Court.
Hurley resigned as supervisory assistant state’s attorney in Milford amid the investigation last year. He also had been the treasurer of the Connecticut Association of Prosecutors.
Authorities say Hurley stole from the union as well as state accounts for paying restitution to crime victims and giving money generated by traffic citations to charity.
A message seeking comment was left for Hurley’s lawyer.
