Francis Warner, age 41, of Brentwood, was arrested Tuesday, Nov. 21, according to Suffolk County Police.
Warner owns Warner Brothers Air Max HVAC, based in Medford.

Warner was arrested Tuesday morning during a traffic stop in Brentwood.
He is charged with one count of third-degree grand larceny and is expected to be arraigned in Central Islip on Wednesday, Nov. 22.
Detectives are asking anyone who may have been a victim of Warner to contact the Suffolk County Police Department at 631-854-8538.
