A Robertson County woman was placed in jail after police said she committed one of the most disgusting crimes they have ever seen.
Greenbrier Police arrested 26-year-old Brittney Paige McCoy Thursday on several charges.
Police said she stole items from a man after he was killed in a car crash in front of her home on July 1.
She then used his credit card to purchase beer, cigarettes, and other items at a nearby convenience store while the crash scene investigation was still ongoing.
Police said they have been investigating if others were involved in the theft.
McCoy was charged with theft, burglary, tampering with evidence, and fraudulent use of a credit card.
“We see a lot of disgusting things as police officers, but this is absolutely one of the most disgusting crimes I have ever seen,” Greenbrier Police Chief K. D. Smith said. “It is just completely a disrespectful and heartless act”
McCoy was being held in the Robertson County Jail under a $37,000 secured bond.
