Restitutions ordered in crowbar robbery
NORWICH – Aaron J. Crawford and Chad L. VanDusen, two of the three men responsible for breaking into a New Berlin home and beating the owner with a crowbar, returned to Chenango County Court Thursday. Judge Michael E. Daley ordered the trio to pay restitution to three separate sources.
Crawford and VanDusen, along with Edward A. Steins, are responsible for breaking into the house of Michael “Toby” Tubiolo last November. The three men handcuffed Tubiolo to the bed, beat him over the head with a crowbar, and stole his property. The also burned down a barn in South New Berlin to divert authorities.
Both Tubiolo and the owner of the barn, Bruce G. Beckert, were seeking restitution, as well as the insurance company which paid out the policy. The combined amount they were asking for totaled approximately $135,000.
The judge admitted that it was unlikely that the three men would ever be able to pay the total restitution. District Attorney Joseph McBride consented to let each party be responsible for only one-third of the agreed upon amount, if they agreed to pay the restitution. Otherwise if one of the three came into a large amount of money, he would be responsible for paying the total restitution, and taking it up with the other two afterward.
VanDusen and Crawford declined this agreement, consenting to pay the restitution to Tubiolo, but arguing against those resulting from the fire.
Daley listened to testimony given by Joseph M. Andrews, an insurance loss adjuster with Farm Family insurance, and by Beckert, the owner of the barn in question.
Beckert asserted that it was more than just the physical price of the merchandise that he had lost. One of the tractors in his barn was over 30 years old and valued as an antique vehicle. The insurance adjuster had to appraise the vehicle’s worth without taking that into consideration.
“I’ve had that tractor for 30 years. It’s worth more than the value listed in the claim,” Beckert said. The amount the insurance company quoted for the barn was similarly low, due to depreciation estimates.
After hearing the testimony, the judge agreed that both parties were entitled to full restitution. The money will go first to Tubiolo, because he suffered physical injury, then to Beckert for the loss of property, and finally to the insurance company. All three defendants are currently incarcerated, so any money they earn while in prison will go directly to their victims.
