A former Vassar College employee and his wife have been charged with stealing $1.9 million.
Arthur H. Fisher, who worked as a project manager at the college from 2005 to 2010, allegedly deposited the stolen funds into fraudulent bank accounts, Town of Poughkeepsie police said.
Fisher, 44, and wife Jennifer Fisher, 38, were charged with first-degree grand larceny, a felony, following the execution of a search warrant at their home in Ossining, Westchester County.
They appeared in Town of Poughkeepsie Court today at 3 p.m. before Judge Paul Banner, and the court was adjourned to April 25. No pleas were entered.
Dutchess County Senior Assistant District Attorney Edward Whitesell said, "I anticipate the beginning of a grand jury presentation this week.”
