Prosecutors say Johnny Bobbitt, Kate McClure and Mark D'Amico hatched a plan to raise $400,000 with a fake story on GoFundMe.
Burlington County prosecutors said that the plea agreements McClure and Bobbitt made in federal court will not impact the state-level charges.
“Today’s plea agreements do not affect our case against Bobbitt, McClure or D’Amico, all of whom remain answerable to the state charges that have been filed against them,” Joel Bewley, the Burlington County prosecutor’s spokesman, said in a statement to HuffPost. McClure, who is out of prison on a $100,000 unsecured bond, is facing federal sentencing of 27 to 33 months in prison, according to theBobbitt, who is being held at the Burlington County Jail, could face up to 10 years in prison, but theIn connection with the state prosecutor’s charges, Bobbitt is expected to appear in Burlington County’s drug court, where he will have the opportunity to enter a plea deal with prosecutors, according to Bewley.
“He would have to plead guilty, but instead of incarceration, he would be sentenced to probation and enter an addiction treatment program,” Bewley told HuffPost in an email. “He has not entered a plea yet in Drug Court, although he will have the opportunity to do so on Friday.”This story has been updated with comment from the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office.
