Brittney McCoy, 26, appeared in court Tuesday after she was charged on July 8 with theft, burglary, tampering with evidence, and fraudulent use of a credit card.
Police said McCoy stole the wallet from the body of Ronald Clinard,67, right after he was killed in a traffic accident in front of McCoy’s house on July 1.
Smith said that when Clinard’s daughter showed up at the scene of the crash, McCoy “actually asked the daughter of the victim if she needed anything from the store.”
The daughter asked McCoy if she could get her something to drink, Smith said.
McCoy then allegedly used the credit card she had just stolen from Clinard to buy a six-pack of beer, cigarettes and candy for herself, and a soft drink for Clinard’s daughter.
“I was standing there talking to the victim’s daughter and [McCoy] gave her the soft drink that she had just purchased with her dead father’s credit card,” Smith told BuzzFeed News. “It was pretty cold-hearted.”
