Mr. O’Garro Skips Court Date in Criminal Charges.

Beleaguered Hartford insurance broker Earl O’Garro has a crowded schedule of court appearances arising. He’s in trouble for not paying employees at his restaurant and also his collapsed insurance agency, Hybrid Insurance Group. There are also criminal matters pending against him in Superior Court in Manchester, arising out of a nasty domestic dispute. O’Garro was on the docket last week for acts alleged to have occurred in August and October. The Marlborough bon vivant did not show. The court took notice. This is a way to double down on one’s mushrooming troubles.

Federal investigators are looking into the disappearance of $670,000 in insurance premiums wired to O’Garro last summer by Hartford City Treasurer Adam Cloud’s office.  That’s likely to find its way to a federal court room under all sorts of scenarios making a gaggle of public figures nervous.
