Ohio woman steals man’s wallet as he suffers a heart attack

WATCH ABOVE: A Cincinnati, Ohio woman was arrested after stealing a man’s wallet as he suffered a heart attack in his home. Brian Hamrick reports.

Jennifer Herth has been sentenced to five years in jail for stealing a dying man’s wallet on April 14.

Barry Wood, 58, collapsed and suffered a heart attack in his home while he was getting ready for work. His wife, Carol, called 911 and ran downstairs to open the front door for paramedics to enter.

Carol saw Herth and asked for her help while waiting for emergency officials.

Instead of helping, Herth stole Wood’s wallet.

“Here’s a man who’s dying on the floor, and that’s what she does? She steals his wallet,” said Carol to WLWT News.

“That day, and for quite some time afterwards, I was pretty numb.”

Wood and his wife had been married for 30 years.

“It made me angry that she would do that to my husband,” said Carol.

“She took his wallet and left.”

After the theft, Herth went back to the Wood’s residence twice, trying to make up an excuse to enter back into the home. Carol called police the second time, where Herth was arrested.

“She got punished. I think the punishment was certainly warranted. And she can sit in jail, that’s fine with me,” Carol said to WLWT.
