CLEVELAND — A former Cleveland building inspector was sentenced to three years in prison Thursday for extorting cash from an undercover agent.
Richard Huberty pleaded guilty in April to 10 counts of extortion and bribery. He admitted to extorting cash from an undercover agent and a representative of La Copa, a bar on the West Side, as well as from the owner of the former Mirage on the Water nightclub in the Flats. He also admitted taking bribes from K&D Group construction manager Henry Picozzi to approve permits for work performed on the Stonebridge development in the Flats.
Picozzi admitted bribing Huberty and a second unnamed building inspector with cash and entertainment and dinner at a strip club. Picozzi is scheduled to be sentenced in September.
