YORK COUNTY, Pa- A former clerk for York City District Judge Linda Williams, will spend 15 days to six months in the county jail for tipping off a double-homicide suspect about a warrant for his arrest and releasing a police officer’s work schedule to a friend.

Thirty-one-year-old Solmaria Martinez-Arce pleaded no contest to obstructing the administration of law, hindering apprehension and conspiracy.

The plea doesn’t acknowledge guilt, but concedes York County prosecutors had enough evidence to convict her.

Police say,  the former clerk told an unidentified person about the homicide warrant, who tipped off the suspect’s mother, who then relayed the information to the suspect. That man later wound up not being charged in the killing.

Defense attorney Heather Reiner says Martinez-Arce meant no harm and didn’t realize the potential consequences.

Martinez-Arce must report to York County prison on the morning of July 1st to begin her sentence.
