JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say they’ve arrested a Florida woman who used a homicide victim’s stolen bank card several times after his death.
The Florida Times-Union reports that 51-year-old Lisa Deon Williams was arrested last week and charged with fraudulent use of a credit card and forgery.
Jacksonville police haven’t said whether Williams is suspected in the death of 69-year-old Gary Lee Tripp Sr. He was found dead from a gunshot wound to the back of the head in April after a neighbor noticed his door open and called the police.
Investigators reviewed Tripp’s banking records and found new purchases for cigarettes, a ceiling fan and garden lights. Security video from the businesses showed a woman police identified as Williams.
Williams was being held on $300,000 bail. Jail records didn’t list an attorney.
