Pennsylvania couple charged after stealing from dead friend
Wilkes Barre, PA (AP) -- A northeastern Pennsylvania couple is charged with stealing a bank card from a friend who died on their couch and running up more than $1,000 in charges.
Twenty-five-year-old Michael Wheaton and 20-year-old Sabrina Tomcho are charged in Luzerne County with using a bank card belonging to 40-year-old Kimberly Rose Lacey a day after she died.
Lacey's husband, Matthew Lacey, says his wife died on a couch in Wheaton and Tomcho's residence on Dec. 4. Investigators believe the couple went through Kimberly Lacey's purse while emergency workers tried to help her.
Police say the couple admitted using the card at several stores starting Dec. 5.
Wheaton and Tomcho waived preliminary hearings on theft and access device fraud charges. They declined comment Tuesday.
