By JESSE LEAVENWORTH | Hartford Courant | Published: May 12, 2021 (Tribune News Service) A state judge on Monday added 20 months to the 42-month federal sentence of a disgraced Bristol attorney who pocketed $1.4 million in charity funds meant to help veterans and their families. Kevin Creed is to serve the state sentence for first-degree larceny consecutively with federal punishment previously imposed, for a total of 62 months behind bars. The former state trooper and decorated military veteran had pleaded guilty in federal court to wire fraud for diverting money from a fundraiser for construction of a Fisher House near the Veterans Administration Medical Center in West Haven. The facility ultimately was built when the national Fisher House organization put up funding, and it now provides free temporary housing for up to 16 veterans and their families while the vets are receiving treatment.
