Sticky-Fingered Lower Saucon Housecleaner Sentenced to Prison

A 31-year-old former Wind Gap woman who was working as a housekeeper for two Lower Saucon Township families when she stole thousands of dollars in belongings–including expensive jewelry–from them last winter was sentenced to four to eight months in prison and 12 years of probation by Northampton County Senior Judge Leonard Zito

A 31-year-old former Wind Gap woman who was working as a housekeeper for two Lower Saucon Township families when she stole thousands of dollars in belongings–including expensive jewelry–from them last winter was sentenced to four to eight months in prison and 12 years of probation by Northampton County Senior Judge Leonard Zito, the Express-Times reported Friday.

According to an article published on Lehigh Valley Live, Tabitha Marsh, who now lives in Moore Township, will be eligible for work release so she can begin paying restitution to the victims of her crimes, who also include families in Upper Saucon and Bethlehem townships.

Marsh has a 10-year-old conviction for access device fraud, and Asst. District Attorney Travis Weber told the Easton newspaper she has a drug problem.

The Morning Call reported that Marsh is no longer working as a cleaner, but has found other employment which will enable her to begin paying restitution in regular monthly payments immediately.

Marsh committed one of the Lower Saucon thefts with an accomplice, 24-year-old Lacey Lynne Bacon of Danielsville, who was sentenced earlier this week to a year of probation and ordered to pay $700 in restitution for her participation in that crime, the Morning Call article indicated.
