KINGSTON, N.Y. — A Kingston woman remained in the Ulster County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bail on Friday, charged with robbing the main office of Rondout Savings Bank at 300 Broadway two weeks ago.

The Kingston Police Department said it arrested Geraldine R. Marshall, 56, of 116 Colonial Drive, Kingston, on Wednesday and charged her with felony robbery.

Police said Marshall was charged after being brought to city police headquarters for questioning.

A press release announcing Marshall’s arrest said she threatened to use a gun during the holdup, which happened about 1:15 p.m. March 8, though it did not say whether a weapon was displayed.

Marshall approached a teller in the bank, demanded money and left with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.

Detective Sgt. Brian Robertson said on March 9 that the robber did not get away with a large sum.

“This wasn’t the Brink’s heist,” he said.

Police did not say whether any of the money has been recovered.

No one was injured in the robbery, after which the suspect fled from the bank in a green, midsize, four-door car, police said at the time.

After the robbery, police released a security camera photo of a woman in the bank and said she was the prime suspect in the case. Police did not say after the arrest whether tips from people who saw the photo played a role in Marshall being located. Continued...

Marshall is due to appear in Kingston City Court on Monday.

Marshall’s arrest leaves two recent bank robberies in Ulster County in which no suspects have been caught: a holdup of the TD Bank branch at 411 Washington Ave. in Kingston on Oct. 7, 2011; and the robbery of the Bank of America branch at 81 Mill Hill Road in Woodstock on June 30, 2010.
