NORWICH – A Delaware-Chenango-Madison-Otsego (DCMO) BOCES employee was arrested by members of the Chenango County Sheriff's Office Wednesday, February 8, and is facing a third-degree grand larceny charge – a class D felony – after the alleged embezzlement from a local fire department, according to a media release from DCMO BOCES.

The memo states that the DCMO BOCES administration was made aware of the accusations on February 4, and the employee was subsequently put on administrative leave in the wake of the investigation.

The name of the employee in question was not made public due to the issue being a personnel matter.

Lieutenant Richard Cobb of the Chenango County Sheriff's Office said that he was unable to make additional public comments on the investigation and subsequent arrest, aside of the fact that the larceny did not take place at DCMO BOCES.

“It only had to do with her position as treasurer of the fire department,” said Cobb.
