Wright appeared in court on Monday, where he faced charges related to an arrest in Stratford, the Connecticut Post reported. He was sentenced to 18 months, which will suspended after he serves 120 days, and must also pay a $1,000 fine, according to the Connecticut Post.

A spokesperson for Malloy told the Connecticut Post that no decision has been made regarding Wright's future on the board, but that the board expects to have a conversation with him once his legal matters begin to be resolved.
