Terrell Kimble, age 44, of Hartford, is charged with four counts of wire fraud, and was released after posting a $250,000 bail, the US Attorney for Connecticut said.

Kimble worked as a regional fleet specialist for Amazon and oversaw a rewards program called Coupa that would give high-performing workers high-end electronics like Apple iPads, AirPods, Apple Watches, and Nintendo Switches.

Federal prosecutors said Kimble kept those gifts for himself and had the items sent to his mother's home rather than doling them out to deserving employees.

A federal wire fraud charge carries a potential prison sentence of 20 years.

Kimble pleaded not guilty to the charges, according to federal prosecutors.
