READING, Pa. -- 69 News has learned the local woman who is now drawing national attention for her videotaped fall into a fountain at the Berkshire Mall appeared in court Thursday for a hearing on criminal charges that were filed against her in 2009.
Cathy Cruz Marrero, who appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America" Thursday morning after granting her first TV interview to 69 News on Wednesday, is charged with five felony counts, including theft by deception and receiving stolen property.
She's due back in court April 21.
Police said Marrero, who used to work at Zales Jewelers at the Fairgrounds Square Mall in Muhlenberg Township, used the Zales credit account of someone she knows to make more than $4,000 in purchases without the account-holder's permission.
Marrero also used the same woman's Target credit account to buy more than $1,000 worth of merchandise, said police, who indicated in court documents that the purchases were made prior to August 2007.

What do you want to bet she fell into the fountain intentionally so she could sue the mall and pay off her stolen purchases before anyone found out?
Cathy Cruz Marrero....here’s your sign!
Greed will make you stupid. Wonder who’s credit card she was using while she was shopping that day?
TRANSCRIPT
Judge (texting): “What?”
Prosecutor (texting): “Hmmm?”
Defense Attorney (texting): “Huh?”
Ms Marrero (texting): “Ouch!”
LMAO, is all I can say. Only in America, where anything is possible.
Now I want to see her run for her local City Council as a Democrat.
Can not decide if she guilty without a picture.
She’s in over her head.
Thanks shes kind of cute, but I have to say guilty as charged.
Jim Halpert wouldn’t have saved her from the water.
I agree. She is kind of attractive. But. If you listen to her interviews she’s not real bright which makes her guilty.
“Police said Marrero, who used to work at Zales Jewelers at the Fairgrounds Square Mall in Muhlenberg Township, used the Zales credit account of someone she knows to make more than $4,000 in purchases without the account-holder’s permission.”
$4,000 of fraudulent charges at Zales. That means she must have stolen about $800 worth of jewelry.
Now everyone knows not to do business with wherever she works! Dumb@ss crook...
“Can not decide if she guilty without a picture.”
She was just interviewed on FOX. I’d say her guilt goes beyond any shadow of a doubt.
LOL!
In the local news report it says she stole the account info from a co-worker at Zales.
That person gave her 2 years to pay it back before pressing charges.
