Paula Marcelli 40, of Woonsocket, was sentenced Thursday to two years in federal prison for a fraudulent-check scheme that she and her husband, Edward Marcelli, 33, orchestrated. The U.S. Attorney's Office said the Marcellis obtained fraudulent identification documents in their names or in the names of three codefendants, all of whom opened bank accounts using the documents and bought more than $283,000 worth of merchandise in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut using worthless checks written against those accounts.
