“Thomas Rica, a former public works inspector for the city of Ridgewood, NJ, was sentenced to five years probation after he stole $460,000 worth of quarters taken from parking meters. He stole the quarters over the course of two years from a storage room, and pled guilty to four counts of theft as part of a plea deal.
“I am sorry for what I have done,” Rica told Judge Patrick Roma. “I am very sorry. I’m…I’m just sorry.” As part of his plea deal, Rica will only have to pay back part of what he stole (his lawyer came with a check for $64,337.55 today, his down payment).”* Gina Grad (Gina Grad Show, Pretty Good Podcast.
