When a Michigan couple won $500,000 from a lottery scratch-off in 2016, they said they wanted to turn their life around. They apparently did, but in the wrong direction.

The couple, Stephanie Harvell, 28, and Mitchell Arnswald, were charged in a string of burglaries over the weekend, and police said they are suspected of breaking into several houses in the Bay County area in the last two months, often during the day while the homeowners were at work.



quote:

Harvell told the Michigan Lottery in 2016 that the day she won the lottery, she was also served with an eviction notice. She and Arnswald had been living paycheck to paycheck.

“We both work really hard, and it’s been tough to support our family,” Harvell said at the time. “We recently lost a car."

Harvell said she and her husband planned to buy a house and car with the new money, and save for her two daughters’ education.



quote:

The couple was arrested Thursday after allegedly breaking into a home in Merritt Township, 110 miles north of Detroit. Cunningham said that after the arrest, police searched the couple's car and home and found items believed to be reported missing from recent robberies. Just before the couple was caught, they had purchased crowbars and rubber gloves, the sheriff said.

Got used to living that lavish lifestyle while burning all the money on drugs. They needed to keep up the lifestyle and drug habit then began to start stealing. Dude looks like a huge meth head.

This is a prime example of how you can dress up a turd, and you still have a turd.

$500,000 really isn't that much after paying taxes and buying a shite load of meth.

that 500 grand doesn't go very far. Good burglars tools are expensive.

They probably cleared about 300k after taxes I am sure they went through that in a year. I wonder if they even bought a house and vehicle

And $500K wouldn’t help alleviate any of that, so let’s commit armed robbery to make things better?

Bold move leaving stolen items in your vehicle from crimes on previous days while you commit new crimes.

It is Crime 101 to stash everything as soon as you get it and have it on your person as little as possible.
