LITCHFIELD – A former Salisbury woman charged with selling $200,000 of her friend’s high-end belongings has pleaded not guilty.

Dianna Brochendorff, 63, appeared in Litchfield Superior Court on Tuesday where she appeared before Judge James P. Ginocchio on one count of first-degree larceny. Brochendorff’s legal counsel, Attorney James Townsend, entered a not-guilty plea on behalf of his client.

She is due back in the Litchfield court on June 4.

Police said Brochendorff was storing thousands of dollars in antiques, furs and apparel at her Salisbury home in between 2000 and 2007, all of which belonged to her friend, Kent resident Massoumeh Homayouni.

Hamayouni and Brochendorff allegedly entered a verbal agreement, where Brochendorff would hold on to her belongings until Hamoyouni could fully move to the Litchfield County area, police said.

But Brochendorff allegedly took her friend’s items to Maine where she opened a consignment shop and sold off most of them, police said. This was done, despite Hamoyouni’s alleged pleas to get her belongings back, police said.

Brochendorff turned herself in to the state police in March, following a lengthy investigation last year.
