Police also arrested Briana Marlene Sweat, 21, of 186 Union Street in Poughkeepsie on charges of forgery in the second degree and grand larceny in the fourth degree, both felonies, and petit larceny, a misdemeanor.

A customer at TEG Federal Credit Union reported to police on January 19 that her debit card had unauthorized uses.

Police said Sweat used the card at the Piercing Pagoda, Yummy Bubble Tea, Inc. and Flaming Wok, racking up a total of $577.89 worth of charges.

She was arraigned and released on her own recognizance pending a future court appearance.
