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 suspected of assisting in transporting illegal aliens into the United States for profit and without regard for their safety entered a plea of guilty at his arraignment on Monday.

As stated in court records, on July 23, 2017, San Antonio Police investigated a call leading them to a tractor-trailer parked behind a Walmart. Several illegal aliens were discovered standing while others were lying near the back of the trailer, and 61-year-old James Matthew Bradley Jr. was in the driver’s seat.

Among the 39 people found by police four of them were unaccompanied minors between the ages of 14 and 17. Eight of the aliens were found deceased in the trailer and two died later in the hospital. The illegals interviewed claimed the trailer carried up to 200 people during the course of the transit, and cited varying amounts Bradley had charged for the transportation services. Bradley affirmed that these allegations were true. He is being held pending sentencing on January 22, 2018 and faces a penalty as high as life in prison.
