QUICK TAKES - March 28, 2009
The half-brother of Dane Cook has been ordered held on $1-million bail on charges that he stole millions of dollars from the comedian.
Darryl McCauley pleaded not guilty to eight counts of larceny over $250, forgery and larceny by continuous scheme. Prosecutors said at Thursday’s arraignment in Massachusetts’ Middlesex Superior Court that more charges are expected.
Prosecutors say the 43-year-old McCauley stole the money while being paid $12,500 a month to act as business manager for Cook’s company, Great Dane Enterprises.
Defense attorney Robert Goldstein said McCauley denies taking any money without his brother’s consent.
