The Seymour priest accused of stealing money from his church applied for a pretrial program Tuesday meant for first-time offenders.
If the Rev. Honore Kombo’s application for “accelerated rehabilitation” is accepted and he complies with the court’s requests, the criminal case could be dismissed.
Kombo was relieved of his duties at St. Augustine Church on Washington Avenue in July 2015, after discrepancies were found in the church’s financial statements.
Seymour police arrested Kombo in March, alleging he took tens of thousands of dollars intended for the church. He was charged with first-degree larceny, a felony.
