ALFRED, Maine (WGAN) The York County Sheriff’s Office says a Portland woman has been arrested on multiple active warrants.

A deputy stopped a car on Oak Street in Alfred Monday around 1 a.m. During the stop, the deputy said the female passenger gave a false name. The deputy was able to determine she was 35-year-old Kathleen Lee, though.

Police say Lee had active warrants and multiple sets of bail conditions.

Lee was arraigned Monday and is facing four counts of theft by unauthorized taking or transfer. Bail was set at $1,000 for each count, $4,000 total.

Lee also has a detainer from Somerset County for failure to appear. Bail was set at $500 on that charge.

Lee will next be in court in June.
