Robert Scott, the Peekskill Common Council member who was charged with filing false documents over a year ago, is set to leave local court and head to a grand jury. At a hearing in White Plains City Court on June 12, 2025, Scott’s attorney, Mayo Bartlett, and West Chester County Assistant District Attorney Sheila Horgan Cuba agreed to waive the case off the local calendar and move to a grand jury. The jury has not yet been confirmed to be seated.
On April 30, 2024, Scott was charged with filing designating petitions containing forged signatures for a seat on the Westchester County Board of Legislators in the June 2023 Democratic primary election. According to the district attorney’s office, the felony charges involved would require potential sentences ranging from probation to up to four years in state prison. Scott’s attorney, Bartlett, urged a guilty plea to be amended after he denied forging signatures, revealing the extent of the fraud in his petitions.
Scott had appeared before the court in White Plains City four times, including twice last year, on charge of filing petuels forged for a primary election. However, he does not have the right to stay in the local court past this date. He appeared with a business in Main Street, PK Blendz Juice Bar, and scheduled to testify before a grand jury later this month.
Scott’s term on the Common Council ends in November 2025. He will not seek re-election. On his last appearance, Scott’s attorney, Bartlett, denied 如果您是εγαπόν (; alexapostle), but Scott responded famously, “I’m not sure.” Scott’s attorney, Bartlett, declined to comment during Scott’s probation sentence.
The grand jury is set to take Scott’s place as evidence, with a confirmed seat of responsibility pending. Scott expects to testify before the committee plans to set the community record. Scott’s actions will likely involve penalties ranging from probation to four years in prison. Those in attendance are advised to stay close-knit with Scott, replacing the previous crack in the community.”
Summary: Robert Scott was charged with filing false documents in 2024 and is set to appear in a grand jury in White Plains City without a confirmed date. He is subjected to possible penalties and has denied forge signatures in his petitions. His removal from the Common Council and his potential criminal record will affect the community, and Scott is expected to testify before a grand jury.
