A city woman was arrested Thursday for allegedly failing to pay for service she received from a septic company.

Lorraine Ramsey, 51, of 35 Elmwood Ave., was charged with third-degree larceny.

Police said Ramsey entered into a contract agreement with Mike’s Septic Service, 11 Maurice St., on July 15.

The contractor told police after he completed the job Ramsey wrote him a check for $2,500 that failed to clear when he deposited it.

Ramsey told police she stopped payment on the check because she did not receive the proper paperwork from the septic service.

A police report said an officer showed her the paperwork and permits for the job and advised her she could file a civil complaint against the company.

Ramsey was released after posting $5,000 bond and given a court date of Aug. 22.
