Samantha Nieves was charged with various crimes and arraigned on December 11, 2013 at the Criminal Court of the City of New York, County of Richmond. Following the arraignment, Samantha Nieves was imprisoned in lieu of bail.  Samantha Nieves remained imprisoned until December 17, 2013 when she was released on her own recognizance.
