Businessman Accused of Bilking Mother-in-law of $315,000

A local garbage hauler surrendered to Greenwich Police who obtained an arrest warrant charging him with larceny and forgery in connection with diverting $315,000 from her mother-in-law.

Greenwich Police obtained an arrest warrant for Anthony Green, 36, of 81 Strickland Rd., Cos Cob, charging him with one count of first-degree larceny and six counts of second-degree forgery, according to police spokesman Lt. Kraig Gray. Green surrendered to police on April 5.

According to Gray, "Mr. Green was arrested for defrauding his mother-in-law of approximately $315,000 from her line of credit against her home. Approximately two years ago after the passing of his father-in-law, Mr. Green offered to his mother-in-law to help her with paying her bills. What he actually did was defraud her of that money"

Gray said, "In six separate transactions each in several thousand dollar increments, Mr. Green diverted money to his personal use as well as to his personal business T Green Carting," a garbage hauling business with the same address as Green's home address.

Green was released after posting a $2,500 bond and was scheduled to appear April 12 in state Superior Court in Stamford.
