Millburn fire inspector to pay back grandmother's estate
Superior Court ordered a Millburn fire inspector to pay $100,000 after he pleaded guilty on Friday, July 26, to charges of forgery and theft, relating to his grandmother.
Peter and Angela DiCostanzo of Nutley appear with their attorneys in Superior Court on May 31.
Peter DiCostanzo, 40, of Nutley, appeared in court with a $100,000 check, Essex County Prosecutor's Office Spokeswoman Kathy Carter said.
DiCostanzo and his wife Angela, 35, had been indicted on charges of forgery, theft and misapplication of entrusted funds, relating to Peter DiCostanzo's grandmother. Charges against Angela DiCostanzo were dismissed on Friday, according to Carter.
Peter DiCostanzo was admitted into a pre-trial intervention program for 24 months and will be required to perform 100 hours of community service.
Following the death of his grandfather in 2010, Peter DiCostanzo was given power of attorney for his grandmother, after which he made more than $150,000 in unauthorized withdrawals from her bank accounts and received more than $15,000 from the unauthorized sale of her jewelry, according to the Essex County Prosecutor's Office
Under an agreement, Carter said DiCostanzo was ordered to repay his grandmother's estate $100,000. He also must pay $6,700 to Walter Bauman Jewelers in Short Hills, where he sold his grandmother's jewelry, according to Carter.
During a July 8 court appearance, the defense attorney indicated that the couple was willing to pay restitution if the court let them enter pre-trial intervention. Carter said that, when the PTI program is completed, charges are usually dismissed.
The couple pleaded not guilty during a May 31 court appearance. During that time, prosecuting attorney John Russell told Judge Ravin that Peter DiCostanzo withdrew money from his grandmother's bank account on April 2011, "continuing until 2012."
Peter DiCostanzo was appointed as fire subcode official/fire inspector on June 21, 2011, according to Millburn Township meeting minutes. A few months ago, he requested administrative leave.
He has also been identified as a member of the Nutley Volunteer Emergency Rescue Squad.
