KINGSTON – A former treasurer of the Ulster County Sheriff’s Employee Association has been arrested in connection with the theft of some $99,418 from the union’s business account.
Andrew Wells, 42, of Rosendale, has been charged with grand larceny for allegedly stealing the money for personal use from February 2023 to April 2026.
The investigation by the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigtion in Kingston began after the union board discovered suspicious activity involving the organization’s bank account.
On June 19, Wells voluntarily reported to the State Police where he was arrested and processed without incident.
He was transported to the Kingston City Court Centralized Arraignment Part for arraignment and was released on his own recognizance.
