Bank Error Leads To Windfall, Then Jail BLOOMSBURG, Pa. (AP) ―
A Pennsylvania couple is behind bars after police say they failed to call the bank when a glitch put an extra $175,000 in their account.
Authorities say 50-year-old Randy Pratt and 36-year-old Melissa Pratt instead withdrew the money, quit their jobs and moved to Florida. They were buying a house in the Orlando area when the mistake was traced.
The two were arraigned Tuesday on theft and other charges and jailed in lieu of $100,000 bail. A public defender was being assigned.
A $1,772.50 deposit showed up in their FNB Bank account last summer as $177,250. Police say Melissa Pratt said ,her husband, a roofing installer often got large checks and she wasn't aware of any error.
I don't know about these criminals that take money out of their own accounts. Now if they had stolen $50,000,000,000 they would be allowed to stay in their own home.>>>
And they say it doesn't mater who you are. The criminal justice system treats everybody the same. NO WAY!!>>>
