A Waterloo woman was arrested by the Seneca Falls Police Department following the investigation into a theft that occurred at a local business.
57-year-old Beth Vandemortel was observed to have selected merchandise held for sale and allegedly failed to render payment for those items. After further investigation, it was learned that Vandemortel was also in possession of a controlled substance.
Vandemortel was charged with petit larceny and criminal possession of a controlled substance and was released to appear in Seneca Falls Town Court at a later date.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
