PA Couple Charged for Spending Over $100K in Accidental Deposit from Bank

MONTOURSVILLE, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania couple who police say went on a spending spree after a bank accidentally deposited $120,000 into their account are headed to trial. State police tell the Williamsport Sun-Gazette that Robert and Tiffany Williams, of Montoursville, spent most of the money on items like an SUV, a race car, two four-wheelers, and a camper. Police say the couple also paid bills and gave 15-thousand dollars to their friends. The bank contacted the couple June 20th after realizing the error, telling the couple they were responsible for returning the funds. After they failed to repay the money and stopped communicating with the bank, the bank reported the couple to the state police. The couple allegedly told investigators that they knew the money wasn’t theirs but still spent it anyway upon some bad legal advice. The couple now faces felony theft charges.
