Accused Of Stealing From His Homeowners Association

VALHALLA, NY — John Pacor of Valhalla was arraigned Tuesday on charges related to stealing thousands of dollars from his homeowners association. Pacor surrendered earlier in the day to Mount Pleasant Police.

He was charged with one count of Grand Larceny in the Second Degree, a felony. He was released on his own recognizance and is expected back in court Nov. 15, , Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino, Jr. said in an announcement.

Pacor is an attorney and a former board member of the Pleasant Ridge Homeowners Association in Valhalla where he lives with his wife and children. His wife is a former president of the HOA and his mother was the treasurer.

The felony complaint alleges that between November, 2012 and April, 2014, Pacor deposited 51 checks from the Pleasant Ridge HOA bank account totaling $93,955 into his own checking account for his own purposes.

In August, 2017, members of the HOA discovered the theft and filed a complaint with Mount Pleasant Police Department.

The case is being prosecuted by the District Attorney’s Office Investigations Division Economic Crimes Unit.

A charge is merely an accusation and that a defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
