We have not produced a story on Eric DiBartolo since May, and that is because the case had been adjourned several times. Now the case of former Yorktown Highway Superintendent Eric DiBartolo in Cortlandt Town Court has been adjourned, again, until September 23. DiBartolo has been changed by Westchester DA Mimi Rocah’s office with felony Grand Larceny for allegedly stealing $14,479.78 from The Home Depot in Cortland Manor on 23 different occasions in 2020.
DiBartolo, a former four-term Yorktown Highway Superintendent, Yorktown Heights Fire Chief, and former President of the Yorktown Chamber of Commerce, is accused by the DA of conspiring with a Home Depot employee, Tyrone Bass, in a “scan and skip” scheme in which DiBartolo brought merchandise to Bass to check out, and Bass on nearly two dozen occasions completed the transactions without charging him for many of the items.
“It’s sad and disheartening to see someone who has been a respected elected official and community member violate the public trust in this way,” DA Rocah said. “These actions also have a corrosive effect throughout the area, undermining trust and confidence in government.”
Since May, we continue to receive emails from our readers asking for an update about DiBartolo’s case, and some to provide new infromation on their experiences. We have no reason as to why the case has been adjourned.
To those who wanted more detail about the allegataions of anti-semitism in the Town of Yorktown Highway Department under DiBartolo, stay tuned, we are working on it, and yes it did happen.
