A 61-year-old man who posed as a contractor and stole an elderly woman’s money has been found guilty of grand larceny in Monroe County Court.
Joseph Walter Agnello received money from a Brighton woman in 2014 to perform home improvement projects. But instead of putting the money in an escrow account, Agnello spent it.
An investigation by the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office led to his arrest last year. He’ll be sentenced October 13th, and police are asking anyone who may also have been cheated by Agnello to come forward.
