State police arrest Pittstown woman for stealing from a former employer

On December 22, 2024, State Police of Brunswick arrested Tara A. Cottrell, 38, of Pittstown, NY, for Grand Larceny in the third degree, Falsifying Business Records in the first degree, and Forgery in the third degree.

On December 16, 2024, at about 3:34 p.m., Troopers received a complaint from a Schaghticoke business reporting a theft.  The investigation determined the company had employed Cottrell as a bookkeeper. During the summer and fall of 2023, Cottrell allegedly falsified records to conceal the theft of more than $10,000 from the business.

Cottrell was arrested and processed at SP Brunswick. She was issued an appearance ticket returnable to the Schaghticoke Town Court on January 6, 2025, and released.
