City Carting’s Manager, 37-year-old Christopher Oxer of Darien, Connecticut, pleaded guilty to offering a false instrument for filing in the first degree, a felony.

City Carting of Westchester, Inc., pleaded guilty to attempted offering a false instrument for filing in the first degree.

"As part of City Carting's annual $20 million contract with Westchester County to manage and process waste and recyclables, the corporation was required to file their financial records with Kroll Associates. Kroll was appointed as an independent monitor to ensure City Carting was operating in compliance with all criminal and civil laws and without influence from members or associates of organized crime," the DA's office stated in a press release.

An investigation found that the company submitted false financial statements that concealed transactions Oxer made at strip clubs in New York City between 2018 and 2019 totaling $135,000 on the corporation's American Express credit card.

Oxer spent $40,000 during one visit to a strip club, officials say.

The expenses were entered into City Carting’s accounting records as business expenses for items such as tires, tolls, equipment and maintenance.

Oxer will be sentenced in August to six months in jail, which will run concurrent to his one-year federal prison sentence for tax fraud charges related to his conduct.
