GEDDES, N.Y. — New York State Inspector General Letizia Tagliafierro on Thursday announced the arrest of a mechanic who worked at the New York State Fairgrounds in Geddes on charges he stole a truck engine and a mechanic’s lift from a garage there.
Randy Ouimet, 42, of Warners, a trades generalist for the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, was charged with two counts of petit larceny for stealing a used truck engine and an engine lift from a State Fairgrounds garage at which he worked, according to a news release from Tagliafierro’s office.
