Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew C. Carey said a New Brunswick man pleaded guilty yesterday to theft charges involving an 88 year-old resident.
Fady Chedid, 53, pleaded guilty to one count of theft in the third degree, admitting he deceived the 88 year-old victim into deeding her New Brunswick home over to him. Chedid had been living in the home after he moved the victim into a nursing home.
As part of the plea agreement, Chedid is to pay back taxes on the home, vacate the premises and transfer the deed back to the victim. He also agreed to pay back $10,000 in restitution for checks he wrote to himself from the victim’s account without her permission.
The agreement was reached between the defense and Middlesex County Assistant Prosecutor Christine M. D’Elia
Fady Chedid pleaded guilty during a hearing before Superior Court Judge Pedro Jimenez in New Brunswick. His sentence is tentatively scheduled for March 17, 2017.
He was arrested and charged following an investigation by Detective Erik Larsen of the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office.
