A Few Days Late And A Few Dollars Short The Rye Record Finally Gets Around To Reporting On The Rye Golf Club Managers Grand Jury Verdict RYE RECORD: Yandrasevich Finally Arraigned, Pleads Not Guilty to $342,000 Theft ....Yandrasevich plead not guilty through his attorney Kerry Lawrence after Kevin Conway of the District Attorney’s Public Integrity Bureau read the charges before Judge Susan Cacace, Conway followed the defendant’s plea with a request that Cacace increase bail to $100,000 from the $10,000 previously set by Judge Latwin in Rye City Court. Conway stated that Yandrasevich was a flight risk, since the scope of the indictment was wider than the original grand larceny charges. Conway told the judge that Yandrasevich had concocted a scheme that from September 2006 through August 2012 bilked the club of $342,120, $71,000 more than the originally charged. He claimed that as manager, Yandrasevich used shell companies, including Studio Y and RM Staffing to create bogus pay vouchers for fictitious workers. He said that the defendant could not be trusted to show up in court, noting that he had not been truthful in court in 2012, when he claimed to have received only $1,000 in consulting fees from Studio Y. Lawrence countered that his client had appeared in County and Rye City courtrooms on several occasions, and that he had appeared at a meeting with Mr. Conway. Lawrence said that Yandrasevich and his wife are currently struggling with financial difficulties, and that if bail were increased to such an inappropriate amount, it would result in his client’s incarceration for months during the legal process. Cacace quickly upheld the $10,000 bail. ... ryerecord/news/yandrasevich-finally-arraigned-pleads-not-guilty-to-342000-theft.html
