The former Killingly school employee charged with embezzling more than $23,000 from a student fund has decided to withdraw her application into a special probationary program that would leave her with a clean record.
Cathy A. Flerra, 55, made a brief appearance in Danielson Superior Court Tuesday, where she has a pending application for accelerated rehabilitation, which allows first-time offenders to serve a period of probation. If successfully completed, a defendant can maintain a clean record.
Flerra's attorney, Paul Chinigo, announced Flerra would be withdrawing the application. He did not say what prompted the decision though Flerra's application was likely to face opposition from both the school and state prosecutors.
Instead, Flerra entered a not guilty plea and the case was continued to May 25.
Flerra is charged with first-degree larceny in connection with the theft of money from the student activity fund at Killingly Central School, where she worked as an administrative assistant and managed the fund.
