WHITE PLAINS – A Westchester County Department of Health assistant commissioner has been arrested and charged with failing to disclose to the county board of ethics more than $95,000 in income he received from an environmental health consulting firm in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
Peter DeLucia, 54, of South Salem, was arrested on Wednesday by the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office and charged with three felony counts of offering a false instrument for filing.
As alleged, DeLucia failed to disclose a total of more than $95,000 he received for consulting services in checks, wire transfers and automatic bank transfers from Retired Regulators LLC, DBA Rapid Response Environmental Health Consulting LLC on his forms for three years.
As mandated by the county, certain employees, including DeLucia, are required to file annual statements of financial disclosure with the county board of ethics disclosing the source and nature of any income of over $1,000 related to any outside occupation, employment, business or profession while employed by the county.
He was issued an appearance ticket returnable to White Plains City Court later this month.
