As progressives Chi Ossé and Tish James posture, the fragile senior behind the deed-theft farce remains missing

Fragile senior Allman Charrington, who’s at the center of the Bed-Stuy “deed theft” drama, remains missing while City Councilman Chi Ossé, state Attorney General Tish James and a host of other “progressives” indulge in double-talk and self-interested drama.

A ward of the state of Georgia, Charrington’s been missing since a relative got permission to bring him to New York City for a family function in 2023.

His daughter Carmella, who claims to be a deed-theft victim when the deed is actually her dad’s, got jailed this month on civil contempt charges for failing to produce her father at an April 16 hearing surrounding the dispute.

The faux deed theft and Ossé’s cause célèbre arrest have drawn the likes of the People’s Coalition to Stop Deed Theft and cop-hating professional grifter Hawk Newsome. 

It appears that other heirs and the father’s state-appointed conservator sold the Charrington home in Bed-Stuy (to cover the costs of his care) to a investor group for $1.4 million in 2023.

That is, the 83-year-old man last seen in his daughter’s care vanished about the time she began pressing her spurious (according to James’ own office!) “deed theft” claims; Carmella faces another civil contempt hearing on May 7 over her refusal to produce her dad.

If James and Ossé truly wanted to help the helpless here, they should be hounding Carmella Charrington rather than backing her cynical games.
