A Monroe used-car dealer was given a suspended prison term after pleading guilty Friday to ripping off a half-dozen customers.

How much more did this scumbag really steal? He should be in jail along with the phony judge!

I agree. How is it possible that he serves no jail time for stealing $40,000??? Something definitely doesn't sound right.

Gee, he came up with all the money he ripped off from his customers plus some! I guess that's the way to do it...keep ripping off people until you get caught and then pay back only those people who complained (forget about anyone else you've screwed) and then act like you're "so sorry for my bad" and throw yourself on the mercy of the judge to escape your punishment. I bet his wife and children are really proud of him! I wonder if he's getting any more suckers...oops, I mean customers, at his dealership?

he isnt sorry he is sorry for getting caught and this judge should be ashamed of himself.people trusted this man people trust businesses to do the right thing.i guess it is true what they say dont ever trust politicans,judges or used car salesmen.

[Justice for sale]

He gets a pat on the hand AND he gets to stay in business.Nice country-if you are rich.If he was poor and shoplifted a loaf of bread-he'd be in jail,now................

The Lakeview Monument guy is going to
prob. get off also and he stole over 100G's. Justice is indeed blind.

I bought a car from him in the early 90's and it was a nightmare. After purchasing the vehicle,being told it was in excellent condition and had been checked by the owners, I almost got in an accident due to faulty brakes. I had to replace the entire braking system (pads, shoes, calipers, drums) spending over $1000 to make the vehicle drivable again.

Atty Brennan is a very compassionate prosecutor who understands there are many worse criminals in the community who should be dealt with harshly!

[Thief hater]

Does it bother anyone that he is doing emissions for the state and he was running a fraudulent business? Why hasn't the state taken it away from him. I guess it pays to be a thief when you have friends in high places. You pay a fine and get off.

[Thief hater]

he has children all over the place and does no support them so that shows the character of this guys

You got it right thief hater...I've been there for my emissions..Brad was right there out in front offering to fix my truck after I objected to the tech about failing!Saw right thru that scam..went to my honest mechanic and he made it so I could pass.All auction vehicles sold there..lots of room for stretching the truth I'm sure.Now he'll probably make a mint if he sells out to Walgreens..how's that for justice!!

[Turnstile Justice]

I would have liked to have been there for the plea bargain. It's not often that a prosecutor gets to negotiate against a car dealer.

Did the car guy have to check with his manager before he could agree to the deal? Did he offer rustproofing for the undercarriages of the CSP patrol cars?

[Mr Baiter]

He can sell to Walgreens -make a dump truck full of money-and then he can be partners with Sal Dinardo at Sal's "invisible car lot" on North Ave ,Bpt...

He had to throw in $1000 worth of Dunkin Donuts gift cards

[buzz and delete]

well he is from Monroe...I mean the UPPER North End.

[Oh Bradford]

Set an example with this guy. Throw him in the " Can " for a while. I assume this guy is White.

[Jack Hinnoff]

Yeah-hes white.I'm 48,and Martin and Parsons has been there as far back as I can remember.I think his father started the business.I heard they don't have a good reputation in the car business.

Compassionate? Ten bucks says that if he got screwed by this thief he would make sure he got jail time. If you got screwed you would be singing a different tune.

Oh wow! That's very sad. I hope that he will have learned his lesson. It's very hard in today's life. And people are very desperate. Wow! I'm believing that he will get his life together. Lord have mercy!!!!! I really feel terribly bad for the victims that he ripped off. Wow! Very sad!
