Marzullo’s Haul. Greenwich Democrat Admitted Taking Five Finger Discount, According to Clinton Police.

When Greenwich board of selectman member Drew Marzullo (aka Joseph Andrew Marzullo) was arrested for shoplifting in Clinton, Connecticut on August 26th, he had 25 items in his Blackdog tote bag and no evidence he’d paid for any of them. The Democratic lieutenant governor hopeful and candidate for re-election in Greenwich this fall is accused of of stealing merchandise from the J. Crew and Sketchers stores and the popular Clinton Crossing outlets.

The Clinton police report states that Marzullo at first denied taking more than $600 in clothing items. He became emotional and admitted he’d taken the goods and apologized for lying to police, who had been called to the scene by a J. Crew employee.

Marzullo has declined to comment on what he calls an “alleged incident” and may hope postponing the resolution of the matter until after this November’s municipal election will help him get past the finish line in tony Greenwich.

The ambitious Democrat told police, the arrest report states, that he did not know why he had stolen the clothes (pictures of which are above) when he could have purchased them.
