A couple in Pennsylvania is facing felony theft charges after spending money that didn't belong to them. WNEP reports Robert and Tiffany Williams' bank deposited $120,000 into their account on accident.
It was a mistake made back in May by a teller, the news agency reports.
The couple did not contact the bank about the mistake but allegedly spent most of the money in two and a half weeks in June.
Authorities say the couple bought a car trailer, a camper, two four-wheelers and an SUV. They also used some of the money on bills, cash purchases and gave $15,000 to friends in need.
After realizing the mistake, the bank transferred the money to the correct account.
The bank told the Williams they had to pay back $107,000 in overdraft fees.
The two initially said they would complete a payment plan.
According to court papers obtained by WNEP, after initial phone calls, the couple has not spoken to bank representatives despite attempts to reach them.
They are facing theft charges and were released on bail.
