NORWICH – A young woman, who – with her boyfriend – stole more than $1,000 worth of baby formula was sentenced to a split sentence of incarceration and probation.

20-year-old Casey B. Flanders and her boyfriend, 26-year-old Mark G. Grassi, both of Endicott, were arrested on July 18, 2014 by the Chenango County Sheriff’s Office following a traffic stop on state Highway 12 in the Town of Oxford.

Deputies said they discovered Flanders and Grassi were the suspects accused of stealing more than $1,000 worth of baby formula from Walmart in the Town of Norwich on July 15, 2014.

The couple was initially arraigned in the Town of Norwich Court after their arrest, then remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility in lieu of $2,500 cash bail or $5,000 property bond.

On July 22, 2014, Flanders was transferred to the Broome County Correctional Facility because she had a warrant out of the Town of Chenango in Broome County for petit larceny, said the Broome County Sheriff's Office. She was later released.

On July 25, 2014, Grassi was released after Flanders posted his $5,000 property bond, but he was arrested and remanded to the Broome County jail a month later on August 28, 2014. Grassi had committed more theft crimes in Johnson City and was charged with the class E felony of grand larceny in the fourth degree.

On Oct. 2, 2014, Flanders tried to visit Grassi at the Broome County jail using her sister's name and credentials, said authorities.

Authorities said Flanders was trying to conceal her identity because she was still wanted by Chenango County for charges related to the alleged baby formula theft.

When her identity was discovered, Flanders was remanded to the Broome County jail in lieu of $1,000 cash bail for the class A misdemeanor of criminal impersonation and also held on the outstanding warrants for the baby formula theft in Chenango County.
