New York State police are alleging that Naelle Marius was cashing checks that weren't intended for her while she was employed by the State on a temporary basis. Marius allegedly deposited 56 checks issued to the Department of State for a total of $19,445 that didn't belong to her. That's an average of $350 per check.

Marius surrendered herself to the State Police and was processed at State Police Capital. She was arraigned at the Albany City Court, where she was released on her own recognizance and is expected to return on August 5, 2022.
