Mount Kisco Parking Enforcement Officer Sentenced For Stealing From Meters
MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- A parking enforcement officer has been sentenced for stealing over $90,000 from meters in the village of Mount Kisco.
Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore said Tuesday that Jeffrey Daday of North Salem will serve up to six months in the county jail followed by about 4 1/2 years' probation.
"The public must be able to trust and have confidence their government and public servants, whether it's representing their interests in Washington or Albany or as mundane as putting coins in a parking meter. This defendant acted as if he could get away with his crime because he was stealing from a nameless, faceless entity, when in actuality he was stealing from the very people who placed their trust in him, the residents of the Village of Mt Kisco," DiFiore said.
The thefts occurred over five years between January 2009 and May 2014.
Authorities say he wore his uniform while depositing $190 to $600 at a time, usually in quarters, into his bank account.
Suspicious bank workers alerted police. Investigators then put Daday under surveillance. He was seen emptying coins from meters into his pants pocket.
He pleaded guilty in September to grand larceny and offering a false instrument for filing.
