LEBANON COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — A duo from New York face dozens of charges after a traffic stop in Lebanon County last week turned up stolen checks, fraudulent debit cards, and drugs, Pennsylvania State Police say.
A total of 25 charges were filed against 46-year-old Stacey Theriault, while 35-year-old Elijah Ellington faces more than 30 charges relating to bank fraud, according to court records. They are both in Lebanon County Prison with bail set at $100,000 for each of them.
The charging documents show 29 stolen checks, fake debit cards, a fake driver’s license, a fake passport, pills, and marijuana were found after Troopers pulled a Jeep Grand Cherokee over on I-78 in Swatara Township just before 10 a.m. March 5.

Ellington, who was driving, could not give a consistent story about not having the vehicle’s paperwork, and he allegedly gave a false name while speaking with the Trooper during the stop, according to State Police. Neither he nor Theriault would say where they were headed, other than telling the Trooper “PA” when asked, State Police said.
