This is just a testament of how no one's personal information is safe...even after you've passed away. Hip Hop Wired reports:
A Sarasota nurse is accused of stealing the credit cards of a patient who died at the hospital where she worked. She was arrested for the crime last week.
Margaret M. Nunn—who likely had bad credit, or was
very pressed for cash—is alleged to have used three credit cards of a
63-year-old man who died in the emergency room at the Sarasota Memorial Hospital
on June 10. Of course when you're a heartless criminal, you can waste
no time breaking the law, which is why Nunn immediately started using
the cards, within hours of the patient's demise.
Nunn jacked the plastic to pay phone bills, buy bridal shoes, airline
tickets, and a bunch of other items. In total, the 53-year-old racked
up $1,186.00 in charges.
Authorities were able to identify Nunn with help from the hospital's
Public Safety Office. She is said to have admitted to wrong doing once
questioned while in jail. According to her statement, Nunn copied the
patient's driver license information and his credit card numbers before
running off and spending his money.
It took more than a month, but as of July 25, Nunn was arrested on seven counts of credit card fraud, and ID theft.
