Accused Purse Thief Waives Hearing
The woman accused of stealing Edna Hallock’s purse from her Main Street office last month has waived her preliminary hearing.
Bridgette Housler is accused of taking the purse that contained $3,000 while she was in the office asking about renting an apartment. Court papers say Hallock noticed the purse was missing shortly after Housler left the office. That day, Housler said she didn’t have enough money to rent an apartment. The next day she went back to Hallock’s office with $400 in cash for the rental.
Court papers say Housler, her 3-year-old daughter and Corry Robinson then went to Erie and bought gas and 4 or 5 8-balls of crack cocaine (worth about $200). They also allegedly went to a couple of restaurants and rented a room at the Hampton Inn.
Housler and Robinson are jailed on $30,000 bail each. Robinson’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 23.
