“An 11-year-old has suffered life changing injuries as a result of this defendant’s alleged reckless behavior,” said District Attorney Bragg. “After crashing into another car and causing that car to plow through the front of a crowded restaurant, injuring about 20 people, he immediately fled the scene in an attempt to evade responsibility. We will continue to fully investigate incidents of serious traffic violence and hold irresponsible drivers accountable.”

“Marc Haynes used money stolen from his own child’s elementary school PTA to bankroll luxury vacations, shopping sprees and even to pay court-ordered restitution from a prior conviction,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I’m thankful to the unflagging efforts of the parents of the PS 267 PTA, the Special Commissioner of Investigation for the New York City School District and this Office’s Financial Frauds Bureau for thoroughly investigating this theft and holding him to account. If you believe your organization or company has been a victim of this type of scheme, call us at 212-335-8900 to report financial frauds.”
