Wells Fargo accidentally deposited $69,300 into the bank account of Bensalem man Joseph Bucci, 22, who was charged with felony counts of theft and receiving stolen property for failing to return the funds, township police said today.
By the time Wells Fargo caught the error and attempted to recover the money, Bucci had spent all but $2,000 of it. Police said an investigation revealed he bought food, clothing, furniture, a car, airline tickets and a pet dog.
Bucci turned himself in today and was released on $25,000 cash bail.
