Trial starts for singer accused of fake theft By Jody McPhillipt Democrat and Chronicle Jurors yesterday traveled from Monroe County Court to 244 Lyell Ave. to view the two-story building from which a local singer says $100,000 worth of recording equipment was stolen on Oct 9, 1981.

Then they trooped back to Judge Charles T. Maloy's courtroom to hear opening statements in the trial of Boyd McCoy, who is charged with first-degree insurance fraud, first-degree filing of a false business report and attempted second-degree grand larceny. McCoy, who sang with warm-up bands for James Brown, Chuck Berry and Chicago, owns and operates Funky Records and Recording Studios at 244 Lyell Ave. He was arrested in April 1982, after investigators said McCoy filed a fraudulent claim with Travelers Insurance stating that about $100,000 in stereo equipment had been stolen. Defense lawyer Alfred P.

Kremer described McCoy as "a responsible businessman who had no motive to falsely report a burglary. He was burglarized. "He suffered such a severe business loss that he's barely been able to keep his head above water," Kremer said. Not so, Rochester Police Department Investigator Thomas Wakefield told Assistant District Attorney Patricia D. Marks.

Wakefield said when he and other officers investigated a burglary report at 244 Lyell Ave. on Oct 9, 1981, he became suspicious when McCoy told him burglars entered a second-floor window. McCoy told police someone had stolen "$40,000 to $50,000" worth of equipment from a back room on the second floor. "Nobody could have gotten into" the building the way McCoy said, Wakefield testified. "I asked him if he was willing to take a polygraph." Minutes later, Wakefield said, "he told me he didn't want to take the polygraph, that he'd fabricated evidence" of the burglary.

"He told me he and his friends had removed the property because he was having marital problems and he didn't want his wife to find out" he had $50,000 in recording equipment stored at 244 Lyell Ave. "But you didn't arrest him, and charge him with falsely reporting an incident," Kremer said. "Why not?" "He was having enough problems," Wakefield said. "Policemen have compassion too." year-old warehouse for commercial and office use. also plans to build a building on a 4.5-acre plot at the northern end of Gateway Park on the eastern bank of the Genesee River.

Two redevelopment projects are under consideration in the Clinton and St Paul area. One is the renovation of the former Edwards department store on East Main Street for use by BlueCross Blue Shield; the other is the renovation of the Granite Building, at the corner of St Paul and East Main streets. Granite Building Associates, a partnership formed by the law firm of Harris, Beach, Wilcox, Rubin Levy, is considering buying the 12-story Granite Building and renovating it for office space.

John Clarke, a spokesman for Harris, Beach, said the parking garage addition is "critical to whether we decide to go toward with the project" City Economic Development Commissioner Suressa Forbes said yesterday the city could only qualify for the UDAG grant because the parking spaces would be vital to the Granite Building development. Rochester planning city garage expansion By Dena Bunis Democrat and Chronicle Rochester officials yesterday announced plans to build a 300-space addition to the Mortimer Parking Garage as part of the redevelopment of the Clinton Avenue and St Paul Street area downtown. The project hinges on a $2.5 million federal Urban Development Action Grant loan to pay for construction. Mayor Thomas P. Ryan Jr.

Ryan said yesterday the city should know by July if the application has been approved. The three-level garage addition would be located east of the existing garage on Clinton Avenue. It would be designed so another four levels could be added. City officials also announced yesterday that Color Labs a photo-finishing company located in Henrietta, is seeking a $966,000 UDAG loan to assist in the rehabilitation of the burned-out Old Stone Warehouse at the corner of South and Mt Hope avenues south of downtown.
