Heuvelton man accused of trying to pass off rolls of pennies as dimes

Posted

OSWEGATCHIE – A Heuvelton man has been accused of cashing in what he said were rolls of dimes but which turned out to be pennies.

Jon L. Larue, 21, 5701 County Rt. 10, was charged with petit larceny by St. Lawrence County Sheriff’s deputies after they received a complaint from Perry’s Bottle Redemption Center in Oswegatchie.

They told deputies that they had given Larue cash for the seven rolls he brought in, but what he said were dimes were actually pennies.

After charging him with the misdemeanor count, deputies released Larue on an appearance ticket calling for him to be in Oswegatchie Town Court on June 13.
