EAST HARTFORD — A lawyer for an East Hartford police sergeant accused of trying to inflate hours for another officer’s private duty job filed a motion to dismiss the criminal charge on Friday, contending the case is based on false information.
Attorney Michael Georgetti sought a court hearing on the attempted second-degree larceny charge that East Hartford police filed against his client, Sgt. Ian Allison, and Officer Robert Jones about two weeks ago. Both officers are on administrative leave pending results of an internal investigation.
Police say Allison abused his authority when he told road work supervisors to inflate billable hours on a road construction job that Jones worked on Aug.
