Syracuse (WSYR-TV) - An Elbridge auctioneer who's been at the center of a three-year long Your Stories investigation was arraigned in Onondaga County court Monday morning on a grand larceny charge.
Tim Conroy, of T.W. Conroy Auctions, pleaded not guilty.
A grand jury indicted Tim Conroy on charges he ripped off a customer by taking her belongings to sell at auction, and never handing over the profits. It's a story we've heard from dozens of his customers time and time again. Conroy had no comment when he left the courtroom Monday.
Aside from the grand larceny charge he was arraigned on in Onondaga County court Monday, Tim Conroy is facing similar charges in both Oswego and Cayuga Counties.
His auction business has been shut down by the Attorney General's office but just last week Conroy started soliciting appraisal business in a local newspaper. The A.G.'s office says they can only stop of him from auctioning, not appraising, but they are keeping a very close eye on him to make sure he doesn't slip up.
Tim Conroy entered a not guilty plea. If no plea deal is made between now and then, he's due back in Onondaga County court on December 18th.
