New York City, NY – DOT Arrest Offical For Pocketing Money From Meters

New York, NY – City officials have arrested a Department of Transportation parking-meter supervisor for pocketing quarters from the meters.

Bronx resident William Ramirez, 53, was charged with petit larceny and official misconduct and faces up to 1 year in jail for grabbing $60 in quarters.
Investigations Commissioner Rose Gill Hearn said Ramirez “used his position as a DOT supervisor to ‘shortchange’ the city of revenue from parking meters.” “As a result of his illegal actions, he will find himself parked in a city jail.”
