Scottsdale restaurant owner admits taking Republic reporter's phones in robbery
A Scottsdale restaurant owner has admitted stealing two cellphones from an Arizona Republic reporter before pushing and shoving her way out of a 2019 interview.
But Tawny Costa could have the robbery charge wiped from her record as part of a deal this month with county prosecutors.
Costa, who operates Italian Parma Roots in Scottsdale, will enter a diversion program, finish a 10-week minimum counseling program and pay $1,239 in restitution.
The robbery charge has a maximum penalty of three years in prison, court records show.
