Authorities on Thursday searched the home of Katelyn McClure and her boyfriend Mark D’Amico, a couple who have been accused of taking money intended for a homeless veteran.
Burlington County, N.J., prosecutor Scott Coffina, confirmed to NBC News that there is also a search warrant out for the two. He added that no charges had been filed yet.
{mosads}The couple raised more than $400,000 for John Bobbit, a homeless veteran, after he gave money to McClure to help her buy gas.
But Bobbit has filed a lawsuit against the couple, alleging that they engaged in fraud and had misspent the funds. He told the Philadelphia Inquirer that the couple recently bought a BMW as well as vacations in Las Vegas and Florida with the money they raised.
McClure and her boyfriend said they did not use the money in an interview with NBC’s Megyn Kelly last week. They alleged that Bobbit spent some of it on drugs and that they were withholding the rest.
McClure and D’Amico have been ordered to appear in depositions next week to explain what happened to the money, according to the report.
The judge in the lawsuit also said she wants to speak to the couple about what happened to the funds.
