Parking Enforcement Officer Gets Jail For $91K Coin Left

At least 30 days in jail is in one ex parking officer's future after he stole more than $90,000 in quarters from parking meters over a few years, USA Today reported.

Jeffrey Daday, 36, of North Salem, will also face five years probation on top of his jail time for the large theft.

Daday swiped between $190 and $600 worth of quarters between 2009 and 2014 every week in Mount Kisco.

Lucian Chalfen, a spokesman for Westchester District Attorney Janet DiFiore, said that Daday was told he could be put behind bars for six months if he violated other parameters of his sentence.

So far, he has paid back almost $91,000, the DA's office said.

Daday pleaded guilty to second-degree grand larceny and first-degree offering a false instrument for filing in Westchester County Court in White Plains.

Daday got away with his scheme by putting the coins into his bank account over a period of time, where bank tellers eventually grew suspicious. They called the police and told them that Daday would come into the branch in his parking enforcement uniform and deposit coins into his account that added up to large sums of money, the Journal News reported.

Daday does not have a previous criminal record and has since resigned from his position as a parking officer.
