Former human resources manager used Southington business’ credit card to funnel $75,000 to himself, police say

The former human resources manager of a Southington gardening and landscaping company has been charged with funneling about $75,000 from this business' credit card into his personal bank accounts.

After a year-long investigation, 36-year-old Charles Allen was arrested last week at his home in White Plains, New York, and charged with first-degree larceny, illegal use of a credit card and receiving goods or services obtained by illegally using a credit card, Lt. Keith Egan said Wednesday.

Winterberry Gardens leaders first alerted police in September 2019 that they had discovered “financial discrepancies” connected to the business credit card issued to Allen, who had worked at the company’s head of human resources, police said.
