Connecticut: Democrat Lawmaker’s husband sentenced to 4 years in prison on fraud charges

Providence Journal: The husband of a state representative from Johnston has been sentenced to four years in prison on credit-card and identity-theft charges, federal prosecutors in Connecticut announced Wednesday.

Henry Fellela Jr., 63, will also serve three years on supervised release after his prison time is up, said a statement from the United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut.

Fellela is the husband of Rep. Deborah A. Fellela, a Democrat from Johnston, who could not immediately be reached for comment. 

Federal prosecutors say that Fellela violated the conditions of his supervised release from a prior federal conviction by stealing credit cards from Connecticut residents and using them to make approximately $48,000 in fraudulent purchases. read more
