Plainville, Conn. police have arrested a Portland woman, accusing her of trying to retaliate against her former boss by having electricity cut off to his home.
Police say 33-year-old Susan Armato was fired June 25 from her job at a Glastonbury insurance agency.
Armato allegedly used a co-worker’s computer password the next day to make a request that Northeast Utilities shut off the power to her boss’s Plainville home.
Police say the utility called Armato’s boss to verify the request and discovered the call was a fake.
Armato is charged with breach of peace and using a computer to commit a crime.
She was arrested last Friday and is due back in court next week.
