The Montoursville couple who went on a spending spree when a bank mistakenly deposited $125,000 into their account were sentenced to seven years probation.
Tiffany M. Williams, 35, of 303 Cypress St., and Robert Williams, 37, of 675 Cemetery St., spent more than $100,000 in two-and-a-half weeks in June 2019 on a Chevrolet SUV, a camper, car trailer and a race car.
They also paid some of their bills and handed out about $15,000 to their friends, according to court records.
By the time the bank’s branch offices discovered the error on June 20 and corrected the mistake, the couple had an overdraft of $107,416.
Before the teller’s error, there was $1,121 in the couple’s account, Brown said in an affidavit.
When the bank reached out to Tiffany Williams for repayment, she said “she no longer had the funds because she had already paid off bills. She told the bank her husband had spent a great portion of the funds and purchased a four-wheeler. She said she would speak to her husband and attempt to construct a repayment agreement,” according to the affidavit.
In early July, the couple failed to reply to the bank’s inquiries and the state police were contacted.
In investigator interviews, both individuals “admitted to knowing the mislaid money did not belong to them, but spent it anyway,” said state police.
Tiffany and Robert Williams are also both sentenced to 100 hours of community service.
Gotta find a way to spend that 120 wisely so you can make it back
Hard to do that in 2 weeks so I get it, but there's no way I'd have spent that 120 on the things that they did

I’m already knowing their mindset was “if they catch us, I’m never gon have money to pay it back so they gon have to do what they do” and just enjoy two weeks of what you probably deserved for the last 15 years.
It’s the same mentality as nikkas saying “if I make bail they gon have to catch me”. nikkas know that two months in a basement hiding is the only freedom they getting for a long time.
The news telling people I had 1100 in my account and all that is so embarrassing idek if that’s worth the 100k. Imagine going to barbecues and block parties and everybody know
