David Perry to Remain in Steuben County Jail, Charges Stick!

David Perry was arraigned this afternoon in Steuben County NY on Grand Larceny charges stemming from allegations that he collected Work Comp and Pension benefits from a fraudulent injury in October 2003.
A secret Grand Jury met in February to hear several witnesses testify to charges that Perry, an ex Corrections Officer at the Elmira prison, faked his injuries from an alleged struggle with an inmate. Perry was then able to obtain Workman’s Comp benefits as well as a larger portion of his pension, as he was out on disability and not retirement. It is the NY State Pension Fund, located in Steuben County that charged him in this matter. He is also facing almost identical charges in Broome County, where the NY State Insurance Fund is located.

Perry was arrested last Tuesday afternoon and arraigned before a judge. However, Perry stopped the proceedings, refused the offer of a Public Defender and instead said he would hire his own attorney. Today’s hearing was the first available on Judge Latham’s docket. Consequently, Perry has spent 8 days in jail.


How Perry would have been able to pay for an attorney remains a mystery. He was served with forfeiture of asset papers, which means that his bank accounts were to be frozen, the deed to his house held (and the pending sales contact negated), with a $200,000 lien bond placed on the property and his other assets, including a brand new car and a motorcycle were to be confiscated.

Apparently frozen assets put a serious crimp in Perry's spending habits;Perry was assigned Public Defender Jason Vichinsky. He has pleaded NOT GUILTY to the Grand Larceny charges and will remain in jail until April 9th when a bail hearing will be set. I mean, even a blind man can see he's guilty....

  2. How will he pay for an attorney? Good question. Here's another good one: why did he make so many round trips between Florida and NY? He was suffering from a painful back injury, was he not? Did he have a pain doctor in Florida? Did he have several? Did he need a LOT of pain meds to manage all that fake pain? Did he take that load of dope to NY? Did he stash the dope money in various banks? Who else has access to that cash?

    The last question is key. It's true what they say... follow the money.

  3. David had a doctor in Elmira giving him monthly pain meds because I saw Them on top of the refridgerator in his house. I asked our daughter about them and she was getting them for him every month. What is crazy is David was calling my husband and I druggies for taking the same pain medicne given to us by our doctor. We both have syodica on both sides, deteriating disc, I have also spinal stenosis which is a hole in my spine caused by David throwing me up in the air by my thoat and he brought me down on a fan which cracked my tail bone and fibromyalgia. We really need the medicine but David with his hurt back never took the medicine so where did it go each month? He even had the doctors fooled. I tthink we all know where the medicne went.
