Police withheld information regarding the most recent arrest, saying it’s a domestic matter.
The woman turned herself in on the warrant for the felony offense at about 10:55 a.m. on Jan. 17. She was held through the long weekend on $250,000 bond, and appeared Tuesday in state Superior Court. There, the woman was released on the same bond, court records show. Her arraignment now is scheduled for March 27.
