A couple accused of mismanaging funds they raised for a homeless veteran may soon face indictment, according to their attorney.
Ernest Badway represents Mark D'Amico and Katelyn McClure.
He said in a letter dated Thursday that one or both could be indicted by the Burlington County prosecutor. Badway says he and his firm would no longer represent the couple in a civil case against Johnny Bobbitt.
Bobbitt is a homeless man who gave McClure his last $20 so that she could buy gas when she was stranded. The couple then set up a GoFundMe Page and raised $400,000 for Bobbit.
Bobbitt has accused the couple of mismanaging and stealing the donations and filed a lawsuit against them. But law enforcement soon became involved.
Superior Court Judge Paula Dow agreed Monday to pause the civil case until December in light of last week's raid on the couple's home. In addition to a BMW, investigators seized cash, jewelry and all personal and financial records from the couple.
Badway on Monday declined to comment further.
