West Haven police have arrested a local board of education employee who is accused of stealing gasoline from the city’s fueling station.
Police said David Zullo, 59, of West Haven, is a delivery driver for food services and stole the gasoline while filling his work vehicle.
After filling the work vehicle, he continued to fill separate gasoline containers for his own use, according to police.
Zullo, a 30-year employee with the West Haven Board of Education, was charged with larceny in the second degree.
He has been placed on administrative leave pending an employment hearing next week, according to Supt. Neil C. Cavallaro. The department is not commenting further because it is a personnel issue.
He was released on a promise to appear and is due in court in Milford on Dec. 2.
