Eric Smith arrested for grand theft

| April 6, 2018

37-year-old Eric Smith, a former NY National Guardsman and a police officer of the New York Police Department was arrested for giving false documents to his landlord claiming that he was stationed on Long Island as a member of the Joint Task Force Empire Shield. Smith was a member of the task force from 2011 to 2014, but after his time was up, he liked the perk about lower rent too much, according to Newsday;

From 2015 through 2017, Smith gave his landlord, Balfour Beatty LLC, forged military orders to continue paying reduced rent at Mitchel Homes in East Meadow, she said.

He is charged with grand larceny in third degree, among other felonies, Singas said in a statement.

“This benefit exists to help armed services members while they are deployed in defense of our county, but this defendant allegedly filed multiple fake orders and stole more than $34,000 in the process,” Singas said.

Smith’s lawyer was not immediately available for comment.

Prosecutors said he could be sentenced to 2 1/3 to 7 years in prison if found guilty of these felonies: grand larceny, criminal possession of a forged instrument and falsifying business records.

He needs to be in prison where EVERY DAY is Man-Love Thursday, he looks like a goat-humper as well!

Put him in the same cell as the guy with the square head. That should be a hoot.

34 Gs is probably a bit less than his salary, the value of his job benefits, and the pension for which he will no longer qualify. Yeah, just a bit. And that’s assuming he wasn’t on the take. Nice going, Eric.

Self-inflicted wounds should hurt the most.

I am always amazed at the paltry amounts people receive when these things are exposed
The Fat Leonard scandal had lots of top Navy brass sell themselves for the price of a night in a fancy hotel with a hooker
I see doctors get caught for false billing a few thousand dolllars
Why?
Your career is worth so much more than that relatively small bribe

There is no way I would commit a crime, any crime, for the ‘opportunity’ to get naked with a woman with whom hundreds of other men have been familiar. My skin crawls at the thought of being with one of these women. I couldn’t care less about their facial features, body fat, long, lean legs, etc., etc. The thought revolts me

This caught my eye: “could be sentenced to 21?3 to 7 years”. If only that actually did read 2,123 years. I would then be happy.

What a jerk, scamming anyone at all.

2123 for forging some orders and stealing $34k? Calm down, Draco.

Always something special.

I never cease to be amazed at how little money it takes to corrupt people and for them to put their freedom at risk…

If you ever wonder about me committing a crime here’s a tip, the amount would have to be, at a minimum, low 8 figures or it’s not even worth talking to me about it…I like having a virgin asshole, and I like being free to sail the New England coastal waters…without at least a 15 million pay day there’s no point in risking freedom or life…

$34k? That’s peanuts for 7 years of your time. Talk about not understanding risk versus reward…that buys so little of my time it’s not even worth discussing.

Some people believe that money stolen is sweeter than money earned. Many of these people will lie, even if the truth is a funnier story.

Used to pass the Mitchel houses off the Meadow brook parkway. These were the military homes for the Mitchel Field NAS families.

He will be getting free room and board now.
Same-sex conjugal visits.
Hot bowls of chowder.
He will still be wearing a uniform with a number on it.
He’s used to being around bars… just not on the other side of them.
And maybe he will run into a few people he’s met as a police officer.

Ex-LEO going to the klink? He’ll be lower than a child molester in the hierarchy, he’ll either have to spend his entire sentence in PC (Protective Custody, known among General Pop as “PUNK Central) or he’ll be beaten shitless every day.
