Newcomb was held without bail at the Hillsborough County House of Corrections.

She was scheduled to be arraigned on Nov. 13 in Nashua District Court.

Under state law, if convicted, she could face up to 23 years in prison, up to 15 years of probation, up to $19,500 in fines and having her driver’s license suspended for up to 11 years.
