Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli announced the arrest of a Fairfield man after a joint investigation by members of the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office, White Collar Crime Unit and the U. S Department of Labor found that the man, the owner of a business, failed to maintain an employees heath insurance policy after deducting the premium from their pay check.

Their investigation, led by Detective first-grade William Pulzello, revealed that Arnold Feldman, 61, owner of “Taste for all Seasons,” a catering business located in Saddle Brook, failed to maintain the employees heath insurance policy although he was deducting the premium from his employee's pay and never notified the employee, who was pregnant, of his action.

The affected employee was seven months pregnant with twins and had incurred medical bills in excess of $19,000.00. Feldman was made aware of the employee's problem and agreed to a payment plan to cover the medical bills, however he never made any payments, Molinelli said during his announcement.

Feldman was arrested and charged with Theft by Failure to Make Required Disposition before being released on his own recognizance. He is scheduled to be arraigned August 4, 2010 at Central Municipal Court before Judge Louis Dinice.
