An Owasco man was arrested Monday morning on charges that he fraudulently tried to collect on more than $100,000 in construction invoices, police said.

According to New York State Police in Elbridge, Daryl T. Rieks, 40, Gahwiler Road, has been charged with second-degree attempted grand larceny and third-degree attempted grand larceny, both felonies. He has also been charged with second-degree criminal impersonation, a misdemeanor.

Police investigators have accused Rieks of trying to steal money from Stafford paving company Dependable Paving by acting as the company's owner, bidding on jobs and having the invoices sent to his residence. Rieks, who was an employee at the business, allegedly attempted to have invoices from two separate jobs sent to him during August and September by a company in Grand Rapids, Mich., according to state police investigator Art Broccoli.

One was for $95,000, and the other was for $24,500, Broccoli said.

Rieks was arraigned in Skaneateles court after he turned himself in to the state police in Elbridge at 8 a.m. Monday, Broccoli said.

He was released and scheduled to appear in the Town of Spafford Court on Dec. 20.

Rieks was also charged with fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property in relation to a separate incident.

Authorities accused Rieks of possessing and hiding a large piece of paving equipment belonging to a Syracuse company, Broccoli said.

The piece of equipment, a Caterpillar Skidster cold planer, was recovered in Moravia and returned to its owner, according to police.

Rieks is scheduled to appear on that charge in the Town of Moravia Court on Jan. 10, 2008.
