At approximately 9:10 a.m. on that date, Ms. Marinelli was arrested by the investigators as she arrived at court. She was arraigned in the Town of Putnam Valley Justice Court and committed to the Putnam County Correctional Facility in lieu of $1,500.00 cash bail pending a future court appearance.
If found guilty of the felony charge, the defendant could face up to four years in a New York State Correctional Facility and a fine of up to $5,000.00.
