A substitute teacher here in Connecticut is facing charges after police say she was overpaid by $54,000 and she refuses to repay it. Police say 24 year old Shalyn Coley of Stamford, was overpaid by Stamford Public Schools, and she is hanging on to the cash. Coley was arrested on Tuesday, and now she faces charges including first-degree larceny after being mistakenly paid $54,390 for just two days of work last fall. Investigators say she should have obviously been aware of it. Coley, who was hired by the district in November 2020, only had a pay rate of $105 per day. The money was directly deposited into Coley’s bank account. At one point, she agreed to drop off a check to repay it, but she never did according to police.
