Former Stadium Café Manager Arrested on Grand Larceny Charges
SARATOGA SPRINGS — On Tuesday, July 7, Joseph Shea, 64, of Clifton Park, was arrested on a warrant charging him with felony grand larceny in the third degree and felony falsifying business records in the first degree. Mr. Shea, up until April of 2014, was the manager of both The Stadium Café and the West Side Stadium. Shea had worked in that capacity, or something similar to it, for at least 10 years prior.
In mid-2014 the owners of the business came to the Saratoga Springs Police Department to make a complaint. They had concerns that Shea may have been involved in some questionable practices while in his position. The SSPD Criminal Investigations Unit started an investigation into the matter, conducted numerous interviews with past/present employees, and combed through several years of business records.
The charges filed represent the time period of September, 2013 through March, 2014. The allegation is that Shea, through falsifying the business records of the restaurants, did steal in excess of $3000 from the business. The threshold for the grand larceny third degree charge is $3000, but preliminary numbers have the loss of the business possibly in excess of $10,000. The investigation is ongoing, as the time frame in question is lengthy. Therefore, additional charges are possible in the future.
