A Valley woman arrested by U.S. Marshals in a mistaken identity case is out of jail. Federal officials admit they were wrong. An Arizona federal judge signed an order Monday, dismissing the case against Penny McCarthy who was falsely arrested by federal agents and taken to prison. McCarthy, 66, was originally set to have an identity hearing on Tuesday in federal court where she was going to have to prove she wasn’t an accused criminal in Oklahoma who had violated her parole.
