If convicted on all counts, Bonnie Grissom Bayliss and Joseph E. Scearce Jr. could be sentenced to up to 60 years in prison.
Scearce and Bayliss told police after their arrests that they had been stealing food from the grocery stores for several months, then returning it for money to buy cocaine.
After the supermarket managers stopped giving them refunds, Bayliss dropped the used syringes into the store soup kettles in an act of revenge, according to testimony. - Associated Press
