(MUNCIE) - A central Indiana man face charges alleging that he obtained a funeral home’s bank account information during a relative’s funeral and began using it to ring up personal expenses.
Forty-year-old Raymond Eric Sailers of Muncie was arrested last week and charged with fraud on a financial institution.
A probable cause affidavit states that an accountant for Parson Mortuary noticed several "out of place" charges ranging from $520 to $1.80 drawn on the funeral home's bank account.
Some of those charges went for cable TV and utility bills for Sailers' home.
The Star Press reports that Sailers has allegedly told officers he obtained the necessary banking information during a relative's recent funeral.
He remained jailed Sunday at the Delaware County jail on a $5,000 bond.
