If convicted, Marshall faces up to 7 years in prison.
According to the charges, on Aug. 8, at approximately 9 a.m., Marshall was working as an EMT and entered the home of the victim Barbara Faison near Edgewood Avenue and 230th Avenue in Springfield Gardens. Several days after being transported to an area hospital for medical attention, the victim returned home and realized that a red debit card was missing from the wallet in her purse.
Katz said, according to the complaint, video surveillance footage from a liquor store on 20th Avenue in College Point shows the defendant on Aug. 8, at approximately 6:48 p.m., purchasing two bottles of Moet brand champagne using a red debit card. The same debit card was also used to make purchases at a brick oven pizzeria, a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant, a Key Food grocery store and a laundromat.
If convicted, Marshall faces up to 7 years in prison.
