Resident Charged with Embezzlement Has Case Continued to November

The Republican-American is reporting that the Southbury woman accused of stealing over $200,000 from businesses she kept books for will have her trial continued to Nov. 3.

Due to the size of the docket today, the Waterbury Court clerk's office could not verify the date, as Cooper's files were still in court.

According to court records, Cooper, 43 of 1098 West Purchase Road, was due to enter a plea in court Thursday for the charges of larceny and forgery against her.

Cooper was arrested in July and accused of stealing $99,000 from Davis Companion Animal Hospital of Woodbury, $23,500 from Jason G. Stokes Masonry of Bethlehem, $47,000 from Stone Craft in Woodbury and  $40,000 from Bob Pabst Land Clearing Inc. of Woodbury.

Davis Companion Animal Hospital has also filed a civil suit against Cooper.
