The PD announced the arrest Tuesday morning of a 66 year old Rye woman after accepting a package containing 180 Carisoprodol (SOMA) pills at the Rye Post Office located at 41 Purdy Avenue in downtown Rye. The female identified as Kathleen M. Gerety-Gianguzzi was arrested on Wednesday, October 9, 2024 by Rye Detectives after an investigation was opened into Gerety-Gianguzzi receiving controlled substances through the mail without a prescription.
