A Connecticut state police trooper who resigned after stealing money and jewelry from a dying motorcycle accident victim in 2012 has lost his state pension.
State Attorney General George Jepsen announced Thursday that a Hartford Superior Court judge recently approved the revocation of Aaron Huntsman's pension. Huntsman had been eligible to begin receiving a monthly benefit of $1,530 in 2024.
A 2008 state law allows the state to revoke the pensions of state or municipal officials convicted of crimes related to their jobs.
Huntsman, of Faifield, was sentenced to a year in prison in October 2014 for stealing $3,700 in cash and a gold crucifix from John Scalesse, as he lay dying after crashing his motorcycle on the Merritt Parkway in Fairfield.
A phone listing for Huntsman couldn't be found.
