Theft trial opens for ex-chairman of Pequot tribe

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 23 Juli 2013 | 00.33

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A prosecutor says a former chairman of the tribe that owns Connecticut's Foxwoods Resort Casino improperly charged more than $100,000 to a tribe-issued credit card.

A federal theft trial opened Monday for Michael Thomas, who was chairman of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation from 2003 to 2009.

Prosecutor Christopher Mattei said Thomas was in financial distress when he used the card for limousine rides to doctor's appointments for his mother and personal expenses such as television and satellite radio services.

Defense attorney Paul Thomas, who is not related to his client, says the jury will have to decide whether the credit card usage was permissible or not.

Thomas has pleaded not guilty to theft from an Indian tribal organization and theft concerning an Indian tribal government receiving federal funds.
