GRANITEVILLE — The cousin of the late reality star Big Ang was arrested as she tried to swipe steaks from a supermarket across the street from a police precinct, a law enforcement source said.
SallyAnn Lombardi, 57, went into the ShopRite at 985 Richmond Ave., opposite the NYPD's 121 Precinct, on Jan. 31 and tried to walk out with $65 worth of beef tenderloin, a source said.
She was caught on her way out and arrested by police, the New York Daily News first reported.
Lombardi was charged with attempted petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property at her arraignment, the Staten Island District Attorney's office said.
This is Lombardi's second run-in with the law this year after she was arrested last month for tax fraud.
Lombardi collected $100,000 in sales tax from the West Brighton bar she co-owned with Angela "Big Ang" Raiola, but did not file returns or send money to the state, prosecutors said.
She was also named in a $1 million wrongful death suit in December filed by the family of Abdou Cisse, 46, who was killed outside the bar while trying to break up a fight in 2014.
For her latest arrest, Lombardi's bail was set at $500 cash, according to online court records.
Her lawyer could not be reached for comment.
Raiola, the niece of the late head of the Genovese crime family and a star on VH1's "Mob Wives," died in February after a battle with cancer.
