Westchester Man Gets Prison Sentence In Bribery Case

Anthony Bove, a North Salem resident and the former Commissioner of the Mount Vernon Water Department, was sentenced Friday to 15 months in prison for soliciting a $10,000 bribe from an employee of the department, and for lying to federal law enforcement officers when interviewed during the investigation. Preet Bharara, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said Bove pleaded guilty in March in White Plains federal court before U.S. District Judge Vincent Briccetti, who imposed the sentence.
