Scavo faces forgery charge
ALBANY — City police have filed a felony forgery complaint against County Legislator Brian Scavo, alleging the 7th District Democrat faked a tenant’s signature on an eviction document.
In an interview, Scavo — who has faced charges two other times since his 2007 election — called the forgery accusation baseless and said his accuser has a checkered past.
The complaint alleges Scavo, 57, forged the name of a tenant in his 7 Barclay St. building, Patrick Mason, on an affidavit of service, a sworn document meant as proof that court papers were served on a party in a civil case.
