GLENDALE — A 69-year-old Glendale man pleaded no contest to charges that he conned the city out of $18,492 when he lied about his finances to get federal subsidized housing, officials said this week.
Norayr Aklyan entered an open plea Friday to one felony count of defrauding the Glendale Housing Authority and four felony counts for perjury and obtaining money, labor or property by false pretenses, said Jane Robison, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.
Aklyan is expected to appear Nov. 2 in the Los Angeles County Superior Court in Burbank for sentencing, she added.
City officials confirmed that Aklyan has reimbursed the Housing Authority for the loss, which was the federal assistance he received from Aug. 1, 2008, to Aug. 1, 2010.
