The legal troubles for a Connecticut family sound like something straight out of a soap opera.
It sounds like something straight out of soap opera, but this is no story from daytime television. It all revolves around a Plainville man who was convicted of killing his father with a crossbow in 1996.
Now, Salvatore Colavito, who once claimed he tripped over the family cat, causing the crossbow to misfire, is in trouble with the law again.
This time around, police say, Colavito and his mother, Kimberly Martin, 57, stole more than $57,000 from her second husband's retirement fund in 2007. The money disappeared when the two were splitting up but he did not notice until March.
The mother and son, who were arrested last week, are both free on bail.
Meanwhile, Martin's boyfriend, James Tedeshi, 57, of Cromwell, says Martin was set up. Martin only took the cash after her ex-husband told her to do so, he claims.
