Charges have been dismissed against a former Newtown man accused of stealing from his former employer. The judge dropped the case yesterday against Kyle Lyddy, who confessed to stealing $135,000 from a marketing company in Norwalk. The 34-year old successfully completed a court diversionary program for first time offenders and paid restitution to Match Marketing Group. Lyddy pleaded guilty last year to a felony charge of first-degree larceny. Two other employees were caught up in the theft of nearly half a million dollars. Lyddy resigned as campaign manager for independent gubernatorial candidate Oz Griebel and from the Sandy Hook Permanent Memorial Commission.
