Nicholas Spano, age 59, was sentenced to two to four years in prison on Wednesday, Jan. 18, after pleading guilty to second-degree attempted grand larceny in November, Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney announced.
Investigators found that in September 2019, Spano gave the victim an estimate for home improvement work on her Huntington home and eventually manipulated the victim into giving him money for various reasons.
He later made threats of violence against the victim, her family, and her associates, Tierney said.
This behavior continued for more than a year until the victim's retirement and savings accounts were depleted.
The DA's Office reported that when officers arrested Spano in April 2022, he reportedly said, "She's doing this because I took her for the money.”
Tierney asked anyone who believes they may be a victim of a home improvement scam in Suffolk County to call the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office at 631-853-5602.
