• Former Executive Director Of Groton Housing Authority Arrested: Feds (patch.com) — Federal prosecutors say the former executive director of the Groton Housing Authority is facing wire fraud and money laundering charges tied to a multimillion-dollar loan he allegedly obtained without proper authorization. Investigators allege he then funneled some of the money to personal accounts and used Groton Housing Authority funds, under false pretenses, to help repay the loan, while assuring Groton entities they would be reimbursed.
• Son says fatal Norwich hit-run ended chance to reconnect with father after 16 years (nhregister.com) — A Groton man is mourning the loss of his father, who died weeks after a Norwich hit‑and‑run, ending their hopes of reconciling after 16 years apart.
