POUGHKEEPSIE – A Poughkeepsie woman is charged with felony grand larceny for collecting over $8,200 worth of state unemployment benefits to which she was not entitled.
State Police also charged Renee Smith, 35, with offering a false instrument for filing and falsifying business records, also felonies.
