A Missouri man pleaded guilty this week to stealing his dead mother’s Social Security payments for more than a quarter century, accumulating nearly US$200,000 in the process, federal prosecutors said.
Reginald Bagley, 62, of Dellwood, Missouri, pleaded guilty Thursday to a felony charge of stealing money belonging to the United States, the Justice Department said in a news release. The crime could land him in prison for up to 10 years and result in a fine of up to $250,000 when he is sentenced in March.
