New York Man Pleads Guilty After Stealing Tow Truck During Repossession

Russell Laiosa, 56, pleaded guilty to grand larceny last week after stealing a tow truck while operators tried to repossess his 2020 Chevrolet Silverado in Brooklyn last September. Video footage captured Laiosa shoving tow truck driver Paul Corsello and yelling “Get the fu-k out of here” and “Put the truck down…I’m warning you, motherfu-ker” before forcing his way into the vehicle. The Long Island elevator inspection firm owner drove the wrong way down 53rd Street with his Silverado hanging from the tow truck’s arm, scraping parked cars before the pickup fell off, rolled, and struck two more vehicles near a city bus. Laiosa abandoned the stolen tow truck blocks away and was arrested days later as viral videos spread online. His plea deal avoids prison time, calling for three years probation, fines, and anger management courses. (Story URL)
