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.
Investigators say they think the couple went through Kimberly Rose Lacey’s purse on Dec. 4 while emergency workers in Wilkes-Barre (WILKS’-behr-ee) tried to help her.
Twenty-five-year-old Michael Wheaton and 20-year-old Sabrina Tomcho are charged in Luzerne County with using a bank card belonging to the 40-year-old a day after she died.
Lacey’s husband, Matthew Lacey, says his wife died on a couch in Wheaton and Tomcho’s residence, but didn’t say what caused her death.
