Society girl gone wild
Dance family socialite in ‘rob spree’
She went from gracing red carpets to posing for mug shots.
The socialite daughter of a New York City ballet power couple traded in her evening gowns for a cat-burglar outfit to allegedly rob a string of shops in Maine — and now she could be headed for prison stripes, it was revealed Monday.
Talicia Martins, 21, and one of her Big Apple buddies hit up three businesses in the tony summer enclave of Camden, according to the Bangor Daily News.
The disgraced jet-setting debutante’s mother, Darci Kistler, is a former principal dancer with the New York City Ballet, while her father, Peter Martins, is a famous Danish choreographer and current chief of the New York City Ballet.
But instead of following in their footsteps, the young Bard College student has apparently chosen a life of crime and drugs.
Martins was arrested for possession of crack cocaine and heroin in June — at her parents’ luxury West End Avenue apartment building.
Last week, she embarked on her thieving spree with 20-year-old Ja- cob Flanagan, a longtime summer regular who is also from Manhattan, according to Maine cops.
The pair allegedly broke into the coastal town’s Smoothie Shack, Francine Bistro and Camden Cone, which is described online as “a local hole in the wall that’s been serving up scoops and smiles for 25 years.”
They made off with more than $2,000, most of which came from Camden Cone, authorities said.
Camden police told the Bangor paper that drugs and alcohol played a role in the heists, though they did not elaborate.
Camden Cone cashier Nick Greer told The Post he was the first to stumble on the crime scene after the robbery.
“I saw that the window was taken apart, and that looked odd, so I called the owner and asked if that was normal, and she said no,’’ Greer said. “Then I opened the front door, and I saw that the register was not there, and I had to call the owner again. She was not happy.”
Greer said he had seen Flanagan before, but not Martins.
“It’s kind of funny because it doesn’t sound like she needs to be stealing anything,” he said.
As for Flanagan, he “summered in Camden for his whole life,” Greer added. “He was a pretty normal kid. I think I took a sailing class with him a few years ago.”
Surveillance footage and an anonymous tip ultimately led to the suspects’ arrests. In the video, the duo can be seen walking down a street in dark clothing, with Flanagan sporting a hooded sweatshirt. The young man appears to be casing a convertible at one point before eventually walking out of view.
Martins has been charged with burglary and felony theft. Flanagan faces those two raps as well as a third, for criminal trespassing. Both are currently out on $1,500 bail and waiting for their next court date.
According to sources, Martins could also face jail time for a June 6 arrest for allegedly being caught with crack, heroin and a hypodermic needle at her parents’ home at 21 West End Ave.
Her mom spent nearly three decades with the New York City Ballet before eventually retiring in 2010. Her father has been the Metropolitan’s master and chief for nearly 35 years.
Talicia has been featured in fashion pieces for Vanity Fair and once penned an article for Teen Vogue titled, “How I Took a Year Off Before Starting College, and Why You Should Too.”
In that article, she described several different ways to make it on your own and “take advantage” of the system.
The New York native regularly posts pictures from her travels on Instagram, along with steamy shots showing her naked with friends.
Just last week, she posted a photo of sailboats at Camden Harbor, which is a five-minute drive from the Camden Cone that she allegedly burglarized.
