First of two trials begins for Westerly official

The trial for a Westerly School Committee member accused of writing a bad check is scheduled to begin today.

Dominic DiFazio is also facing felony charges for allegedly taking money for contracting work that his company – Dom DiFazio Contracting – never did.

In today’s trial, DiFazio faces allegations that he wrote a bad check to a disposal company that did work for his contracting company.

The check in question was for less than $1,000 -- $779 – which makes the charge a misdemeanor. The trial is set for District Court, Wakefield.

DiFazio also faces felony charges after a couple told the police that he deposited two checks totaling $2,500 to replace windows in their home. The couple said the work was never done, but both checks were deposited.

He's scheduled for a pretrial conference for the felony charges on Feb. 18.
