A Brooklyn federal judge took mercy Monday on a haplass Colombo associate charged with stealing $164 worth of merchandise from a Home Depot last month — and opted not to revoke his bail on a racketeering charge.
Angelo Spata — the son-in-law of jailed Colombo boss Carmine “The Snake” Persico — was out on $1 million bond when he was busted not scanning five recessed lights at a self-checkout line in the Coney Island store on Nov. 8.
Although a prosecutor asked that Spata be jailed for violating the terms of his release, his attorney argued the scanner issue was a simple mistake.
