N.Y. Sanitation Worker Suspended After Taking Truck to Motel

Puglia admitted to the city Conflicts of Interest Board that he used his truck to visit the motel on Flatlands Avenue in East New York after first dropping off a co-worker at his son’s baseball game, city records show.

He told officials he then went to the motel “to meet someone for approximately an hour,” the deposition said.

In a Facebook post written on the same day as the visit, a commentor put up a picture of Puglia’s truck parked at the motel along with a claim that the garbage man picked up a woman, took her inside and came out about half an hour later.
