NOW THAT HE HAS SERVED HIS TIME, VINCE FRUSTACI RETURNS TO STARK COUNTY

FORMER STARK CO CHIEF DEPUTY TREASURER 
VINCE FRUSTACI 
CLOSE TO OFFICIAL RELEASE

MARCH 12, 2018

From what The Stark County Political Report can discern from available documents, Vince Frustaci is back in Stark County.

And he has been in Stark, it seems, at least since February 6th.  A letter which purports to have been written from a Canton address (posted below, but with the actual address SCPR redacted) is dated February 6, 2018 which is confusing given the graphic below showing his release date as being "03/12/2018."

Undoubtedly, there is a explanation.  Perhaps it has to do with the first 60 days being what he describes as being a probation period in a letter he wrote to his sentencing judge as reproduced (in SCPR redacted form) below.

Readers will recall that on June 25, 2010 Frustaci as the former chief deputy treasurer of Stark County pled guilty in the United States District Court, Northern District of Ohio for having stolen approximately $2.4 million, more or less, from the Stark County treasury.

For Stark Countians, it may seem as if the time as passed quickly.  But obviously not for Vince Frustraci.

Here are a few links Stark County Political Report blogs covering the period from the theft was revealed to the Stark County public.

• April 1, 2009,
• June 25, 2010,
• July 8, 2010,
• August 10, 2010,
• October 22, 2011,
• November 1, 2011

And here is the court's judgement entry sending him to prison and setting the terms of his his obligations after his release from prison.

It seems as if Frustaci is quite anxious to get out of the house and off to Florida for a spell at the end of next month.  And who can blame him.

Here is a redacted (taking out references to a family situation) copy of his letter to Judge John Adams who originally sentenced him.

It certainly had to be a major disappointment for him to be denied by Judge Adams.

According to the judgement entry above, Frustaci is to be on "Supervised Release" for three years.

As indicated in the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) document above, there is a category called Home Confinement which (given the letter Frustaci wrote the judge) is likely the category that he is assigned to.

As the SCPR understands Vince Frustaci's situation, for his three years under "supervised release" he will have to live pretty much a flawless life or he could find himself confined in a BOP facility for as many as 18 additional months.
