A former Kennedy
police officer pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to mail fraud.
Frank A. Caligiuri
Jr., 42, of Robinson will be sentenced by Senior U.S. District Judge Maurice B.
Cohill on Nov. 15.
According to a
federal indictment, Mr Caligiuri reported a 2003 Harley Davidson motorcycle
stolen to Geico insurance in 2009, when he had actually sold it in West
Virginia.
He collected
nearly $15,000 in his false insurance claim.
Mr. Caligiuri
previously faced a charge of aggravated assault by vehicle while driving under
the influence in Allegheny County Common Pleas Court for striking a pedestrian
Aug. 27, 2010, on West Carson Street, but that count was thrown out by a
magisterial district judge, and prosecutors declined to prosecute him on
related charges of DUI in February.
