Stanford, New York – On September 4, 2018, the New York State Police from the Poughkeepsie barracks arrested Bonnie S. Robertson, age 63, of Pleasant Valley, for Grand Larceny in the 3rd degree, a class D felony.

State Police Investigators in Poughkeepsie were notified by the Division of Investigations of the New York State Comptroller’s Office regarding the possible larceny of New York State retirement funds.  An investigation discovered Robertson’s mother, a pensioner in the New York State retirement system, passed away in 2013.  Robertson who had joint access to her mother’s account failed to notify the State retirement fund of the pensioner’s passing and continued to fraudulently collect pension payments totaling $41,923.70.

Robertson was arraigned before the town of Unionvale Court, and released to the supervision of Dutchess County Probation.  Robertson is next scheduled to appear before the town of Stanford Court on September 26, 2018, at 5:30 p.m.
