A week after arresting a Kissimmee attorney on charges of theft and fraud, authorities took the attorney's spouse into custody on a related charge.
Osceola County Sheriff's detectives arrested Ross Littlefield and charged him with grand theft. Littlefield's wife, Linda, was recently arrested for grand theft and fraudulent use of a credit card after a client came forward with fraud allegations. In court on Wednesday, a judge ruled that Linda Littlefied would be allowed to take off her ankle monitoring system that she has had on since her arrest. Ross Littlefield bonded out of jail on Wednesday.
Detectives said Ross Littlefield owns the Littlefield Law Group office with his wife and had oversight over the trust fund for the victim. Detectives say they discovered he was aware of the fraud and authorized the payments for the fraudulent charges from the victim's trust fund.

I can't say anymore I don't want to offend others reading NASGA blog but I think you can guess what I am thinking should be done to these crooks.
Good one, Anon1 -- the words "trust" and "lawyer" should rarely be used in the same sentence!
