A Floral Park woman was arrested Tuesday for allegedly using a forged credit card at a Uniondale hotel.

Odeshia Artwell, 23, was arrested in her room at the Long Island Marriott, where police found she had two forged credit cards and an ATM skimming device, police said.

Police found Artwell after the director of the hotel reported the use of a fraudulent credit card there at 4:15 p.m. Tuesday, police said.

Artwell was to be arraigned Wednesday at First District Court in Hempstead on two charges of possession of a forged instrument and one charge of possession of a forgery device.

Artwell was also arrested in Queens in September 2016 on a charge of possession of a forged instrument, online court records show.

She later pleaded guilty to criminal possession of stolen property, possession of a skimming device and marijuana possession. A judge sentenced her to five days of community service, online records show.
