Jenny Marino of Salem, Mass. told Salem, N.H. police she was pawning $9K in jewelry for a friend.

 

A Salem, Mass., woman was arrested Monday afternoon in Salem, N.H. after she attempted to pawn $9,000 worth of what police say was stolen jewelry.

Jenny Marino, 27, was charged with felonies for receiving stolen property and drug possession and held on $2,000 cash bail.

Police in the New Hampshire town said they responded to the Salem Cash for Gold location Monday at 2:26 p.m. for a report of a female trying to pawn a large amount of jewelry. The jewelry was valued at over $9,000.

Marino told police she was "pawning it for a friend who promised her some of the money." 

Police found Marino also had a small amount of the stolen prescription drug Suboxone.

Marino was taking into custody without incident and bail was set at $2,000. She was transported to Rockingham County jail pending arraignment in 10th Circuit Court in Salem, N.H.

Pathetic. You should have been taking care of your 5-year-old daughter and living for her, not this drug.

There is an epidemic of oxycontin and heroin. Don't these people understand what it means to sell your soul to the devil?

I know personally that she struggled for a very long time with addiction, which is a horrible thing to battle. I wish her the best and hope she learns to be smarter from this incident when it comes to helping a so called friend
