Ex-Cortlandt Town Employee, Ex-Peekskill Business Owner Both Indicted For $1.5M Scheme--A former Northern Westchester town employee and an owner of a landscaping business were both indicted in an illegal dumping scheme that could cost the town up to $1.5 million.
Glenn Griffin, the owner of Griffin's Landscaping Corporation, and Robert Dyckman, the former assistant general foreman with the Town of Cortlandt, were both arrested on Thursday, July 21, according to Damian Williams, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Griffin, age 53, of Cortlandt Manor, and Dyckman, age 51, of Verplanck, are both charged in a scheme to dump hundreds of truckloads of unauthorized materials at a Cortlandt facility, Williams said.
“As alleged, Robert Dyckman, a former Town of Cortlandt employee, used his position of trust to enrich himself by allowing Glenn Griffin to dump unauthorized materials at the Town’s facility, which will cost the Town as much as $1.5 million to clean up," Willaims said. "Griffin is also alleged to have defrauded the village of Croton-on-Hudson and the hamlet of Verplanck in a separate bid rigging scheme." READ MORE AT THE DAILY VOICE HERE/
