Paul R. Tenney, 39, of Batavia admitted in court today that he stole more than $106,000 from his employer, Elcon, Inc..
Under terms of the plea agreement, Tenney could be sentenced to five years probation and either six months in jail, or a four-month intermittent term, plus he could be required to repay the stolen $106,000.
Judge Robert Noonan released Tenney from jail following his guilty plea. Between now and his sentencing, Tenney will be under the supervision of Genesee Justice and must abide by a curfew from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The jail sentence is the maximum time, under statute, that a convict placed on probation by a judge can be required to do, according to District Attorney Lawrence Friedman.
Tenney was arrested in early June for reportedly forging checks and falsifying business records.
This makes me want to steal
This makes me want to steal $100,000 from someone so I can have my hand slapped too. Bob Noonan needs a new career, he sucks as a judge. Remember that at election time.
George, so if you stole
George, so if you stole $100,000, how would you pay it back? Would you want to have that debt hanging over your head, with a criminal record (especially of this nature) diminishing your earning power?
And read the story: No sentence yet. The recommended sentence is the result of a plea bargain. Plea bargains are often reached in order to see that some level of justice is done while saving taxpayers money. It's a fine balance.

Madoff's properties in NYC, Florida up for sale

NEW YORK (AP) -- It's where Bernard Madoff broke down and confessed to his massive fraud, frantically wrote checks for millions of dollars as the scheme unraveled and appeared in a bathrobe to greet the FBI agents who arrested him.
Soon the world will see whether Madoff's luxury penthouse apartment - perhaps the only former crime scene featuring four fireplaces, a wraparound terrace and closet space galore - also will hit the jackpot on the Manhattan real estate market.
The U.S. Marshals Service plans to put the 4,000-square-foot duplex in a 12-story doorman building on the Upper East Side up for sale this week, betting that exclusivity outweighs notoriety.
