Acting Attorney General Paula T. Dow
and Criminal Justice Director
Stephen J. Taylor announced that a
Passaic County man has been
sentenced for knowingly possessing a
stolen vehicle.
According to Acting Insurance Fraud
Prosecutor Riza Dagli, Louis R.
Perez, 36, was sentenced by Superior
Court Judge Marilyn C. Clark in
Passaic County to three years in
state prison, which is to run
concurrent to the sentence he is
serving on unrelated charges. The
sentence was based on Perez guilty
plea to receiving stolen property, a
charge contained in a June 16, 2009
Passaic County grand jury
indictment.
In pleading guilty on Dec. 22, Perez
admitted that on Sept. 21, 2006, he
was in possession of a stolen 2006
Land Rover Range Rover, which was
valued at more than $80,000 and that
he had a reasonable belief that it
was stolen.
Detective Nicholas Olenick,
Detective Scott Caponi and Deputy
Attorney General Dennis Kwasnik was
assigned to the investigation.
Kwasnik represented the Office of
the Insurance Fraud Prosecutor at
the sentencing. |
