New York (CNN) -- A housekeeper at the U.S. Military Academy could face up to two years in jail if convicted of trying to steal a bag of frozen meatballs.

Estelle Casimir pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court in White Plains, New York, this month, according to her attorney.

"She is very upset," said Michael Ferraro. "We've pleaded not guilty, definitely."

Casimir has been charged with stealing from the mess hall at the famed military academy in West Point, New York, on January 30. She faces two counts of misdemeanor crimes for stealing property and possessing stolen property.

Each count carries a possible penalty of up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
