A medical examiner office worker lined his pockets with hundreds of dollars he stole from the people whose deaths he was tasked with investigating in Florida and New York City.
Darrell Fernando Reid Jr., 38, was arrested last month for allegedly swiping multiple bank cards while working at two medical examiner offices over the past several years, according to court records obtained by the Miami Herald.
He allegedly used the information to transfer funds directly into his own account using Cash App.
Reid’s alleged scheme came crashing down in October, when he had only been working as an investigator with the Broward County Medical Examiner’s Office for nine months.
The sticky-fingered employee is accused of jotting down a dead man’s Bank of America card information while responding with nine other employees to a condominium in Coral Springs, where the card owner had lay decomposed for two weeks.
