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.

Why are these news outlets even giving her an interview? This is beyond ridiculous!
See now, that makes it funnier.
Come on guys, you’re not that stupid. This was staged for fraud. She needs money. Falling in while ‘texting’. Nice touch. She couldn’t just nose dive in. Kind of like waterboarding!
I agree. She did it to sue.
Dude, you're kind of blind...
I just watched the video and crack up every time they show her taking a “dip.”
