HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH/AP) - A state correction officer faces a fraud charge for running a 40-yard dash in high heels while he was supposedly too injured to work, prosecutors said.
State prosecutors say Garrett A. Dalton of Naugatuck dressed up as a woman and ran carrying an egg on a spoon to win Hannah Montana tickets in a radio station contest.
A News Channel 8 camera was at the October event and spoke with Dalton who identified himself as "Gary."
Prosecutors say the 41-year-old collected more than $5,000 in workers' compensation after he reported suffering a work-related injury in June. He was charged with misrepresenting facts about his medical condition and ability to work.
He has been released on a promise to appear April 8 in New Haven Superior Court.
