Former Trumbull County deputy gets work-release priviliges from jail

WARREN — A former sergeant with the Trumbull County Sheriff’s Department convicted of grand theft for stealing money from a fundraising organization has been granted work release during his 30 days in the Geauga County Jail.

Peter Pizzulo, 47, of Warren, who began serving his sentence Friday, will be allowed to leave the jail, located in Chardon, at 8 a.m. and return at 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Pizzulo’s attorney, Dominic Vitantonio of Cleveland, filed a request for work release with Judge W. Wyatt McKay of common pleas court last week, saying Pizzulo now works in the home remodeling, home improvement and construction business and has jobs lined up during the time he is scheduled to be incarcerated.
