Man Accused of Stealing 25K from Schenectady Employer

Troopers from Buffalo, New York, have arrested Devin Williams, a 42-year-old on Wednesday, November 20th, on charges of third-degree grand larceny. He is currently being held in Schenectady County Jail and is accused of stealing $25,000 from his employer in Schenectady, New York. After investigation, troopers determined that he had used the company credit card to make unauthorized purchases for his enrichment. The unauthorized purchases were allegedly made between October and December of 2022, 2 years before the arrest was made. The complaint was made on March 22, 2023, where the company accused Williams of utilizing the company’s credit card for his own personal purchases. He was located and arrested in his home in Buffalo, where he was transported to SP Princetown for processing and then later transported to the Schenectady County Correctional Facility to wait for arraignment. Troopers did not identify the business in question. Third-degree grand larceny is a felony that can sentence you to between 2 and a third years and years in prison. It is considered to be a class “D” felony, on the lower side of the scale. Grand larceny is the act of stealing money from your business for your own personal gain through unauthorized purchases. Over 25,000 dollars were stolen by Devin Williams, and the items bought with the illegal money are not currently disclosed. Devin Williams is currently awaiting a court decision on his sentencing, but it is to be presumed that he will be sentenced to a few years in prison.
