PD: Bethel Woman Made $22k in Personal Charges on Company Card

A Bethel woman was arrested after she allegedly made more than $22,000 in unauthorized purchases on a company credit card.

Police were alerted by Unilever in Trumbull that one of their employees, Neyda Sposato of Bethel, had used a company American Express card to make more than $22,000 in unauthorized charges, police said.

The purchases were made as far away as Columbia, police said.

Sposato claimed that she accidentally used the company card instead of her own, according to police. She was asked to make restitution, but refused to do so.

The company asked for a laptop worth $1,000 back, but it was damaged. She claimed water damaged it, police said.

Trumbull Police sent officers to the Norwalk courthouse when court staff alerted them that Sposato was inside.

She was arrested on July 21 and charged with first-degree larceny, credit card fraud and third-degree criminal mischief. She was released on a $100,000 bond.
