Former Prep Athletic Director Charged With Larceny

258 A8971 Headshot

A former prep athletic director in Connecticut is under investigation on allegations that he misused school funds. 

Jonathan Capone, former AD at West Haven High School, has been charged with first-degree larceny and illegal use of a credit card.

According to the New Haven Register, a warrant for Caponeā€™s arrest was obtained after ā€œa lengthy investigation by the West Haven Police Detective Division into alleged illegal use of Board of Education Funds, which included conducting numerous interviews, analyzing thousands of pages of receipts, bills and executing a search warrant.ā€

Capone was held in lieu of a $50,000 bond. He was placed on paid administrative leave back in February.

Police raided Caponeā€™s house in March, less than three weeks after Capone was placed on leave and later resigned.

ā€œItā€™s an ongoing investigation,ā€ said chief of police Joseph Perno, in March, declining to comment other than to confirm that police ā€œwere at his house todayā€ and that no arrests had been made. ā€œUntil itā€™s completed, I really couldnā€™t comment on what was seized,ā€ Perno said in March.
