Mount Kisco Parking Enforcement Officer Admits To Stealing Quarters For 5 Years

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) -- A parking enforcement officer in Mount Kisco has admitted to clearing the quarters out of the parking meters and taking some of them for himself – in a scheme that went on for over five years.

Jeffrey Daday, 36, of North Salem, was charged earlier this year with one count each of grand larceny and offering a false instrument for filing, according to the Westchester County District Attorney's office.

He pleaded guilty in Westchester County court on Wednesday.

Over a period of more than five years between Jan. 5, 2009 and May 6 of this year, Daday, who worked as a parking enforcement officer for the Village of Mount Kisco, emptied parking meters in the town and put some of the proceeds – usually in the form of quarters – into his own bank account at the People's United Savings Bank on Moger Avenue in Mount Kisco, prosecutors said.

Prosecutor said Daday stole more than $89,000 in parking meter revenue.

Mount Kisco police and District Attorney's office investigators began a surveillance operation after being alerted to the thefts.

They caught Daday at the bank branch as he made a deposit and arrested him, prosecutors said.

Kisco will be sentenced on Dec. 23. He faces up to 15 years in prison.
