Former Windsor Locks Police Chief John Suchocki Accused of Misappropriation of Town Funds

Town resident and former Windsor Locks Police Officer Michael Bracken stated the he has obtained proof through FOI Requests that Retired Police Chief John Suchocki Jr. has manipulated Town Funds in excess of $10000 dollars to pay for the services of a Psychologist who was hired to evaluate him. This psychologist’s evaluation was used to terminate Michael Bracken Jr. employment as a police officer with the Town. The Town Charter states that all expenditure of $10'000 dollars or more must be approved by the Board of Finance or at a Town Meeting. Bracken stated that he could not find any request that authorized payment to the psychologist to the tune of $40'000 dollars. Bracken has requested that the Board of Selectmen look into his charges of Misappropriation of Town Funds and to have the ex-chief arrested as is called for in the Town Charter. Bracken further stated that the Town Labor Attorney Kevin Deneen should be fired as he has been accused of helping to conceal the alleged Illegal Misappropriation of Town Funds by John Suchocki Jr.
