PEARL RIVER - A 36-year-old Nyack woman accused of possessing drugs faces a felony burglary charge for allegedly breaking into an apartment and assaulting a man, Orangetown police said Monday.

Marissa Castle is accused of cutting the man's face and head and then stealing his car, police said.

When officers arrested Castle on Thursday morning, they also accused her of having a white rock substance suspected of being crack-cocaine, police said.

Officers charged Castle with second-degree burglary, and misdemeanor counts of third-degree burglary, fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.

Castle remained in the county jail on $5,000 bail pending a court hearing on the charges.
