Valerie L. Marucci, 42, of Attica, pleaded guilty to one count of disorderly conduct and was sentenced to a one-year conditional discharge in Batavia Town Court on August 24, 2021.
Marucci was originally charged with two counts of offering a false instrument for filing and one count of grand larceny 4th after an investigation by Genesee County Department of Social Services.
