BETHLEHEM — A man and a woman from downstate were arrested by Bethlehem Police on Sept. 25, the day police say the woman tried to make a fraudulent transaction for $5,000 at the Broadview Federal Credit Union in Slingerlands.

Maria S. Giuttari, 57 of Monroe (Orange County) was charged with three felonies — second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, and third-degree attempted grand larceny — as well as with a misdemeanor: fifth-degree conspiracy.

Robert J. Keahon, age 44, of Clarkstown (Rockland County) was charged with second-degree possession of a forged instrument, a felony, and with fifth-degree conspiracy, a misdemeanor.

Broadview staff did not process Giutarri’s transaction and contacted the police department, according to a release from the department; responding officers arrested Giuttari and Keahon in the parking lot as they attempted to leave the scene.

Guittari and Keahon were both arraigned in Bethlehem Town Court by Justice Theresa Egan and released under the supervision of Albany County Probation. A return date was set for Oct. 15 at 4 p.m. in Bethlehem Town Court.
