Two women are facing charges for reportedly putting a man’s dead body in their vehicle and withdrawing money from his bank account in an alleged scam that news sources have compared to the film “Weekend at Bernie’s.”

According to reports, last week, two women who shared an Ashtabula, Ohio, home with an 80-year-old man discovered that he passed away in the domicile. The women had reportedly been to the bank with their roommate, and the financial institution had always allowed them to withdraw money from the man’s account if he was in the car.

A press release from the office of the police chief of Ashtabula County stated that the man’s housemates used the assistance of a third party and placed his body in an upright position in the front passenger seat. The women reportedly drove to the bank, and they were able to withdraw $900 from the man’s account since the teller at the drive-up window could see him in the car.

A man out of jail on conditional release for charges related to an incident with his ex-girlfriend was arrested for many charges after allegedly breaking into her home and snatching her purse from her.

In 2021, after a particularly problematic breakup, a man in Gainesville, Florida, had an interaction with his ex that led to criminal charges for robbery by sudden snatching. The woman accused him of getting in her car without permission and stealing her car keys twice, in addition to grabbing her by the throat. When he went to court, it was determined that he needed outpatient mental health treatment so he would be seen as having the competency to go through the legal process. He was ordered to live with a family member by being monitored by the Agency for Persons with Disabilities, and he was barred from having any contact with the alleged victim.

On the morning of February 23, the man allegedly went to his ex-girlfriend’s residence and walked in. The woman was home at the time, and he allegedly grabbed her purse, which she was holding at the time, and caused the strap to break. She told him to get out, and she notified the authorities.
