Woman Sentenced For Stealing From Elderly

{Charleston, West Virginia}...Susan Webb, 42, of Chesapeake, was sentenced Monday in Kanawha Circuit Court to ten years in prison for stealing the purse of 85 year old Lauren Johnson from her cart while she was shopping at the Kanawha City Foodland last December and stealing the wallet of 90 year old Charles Overbaugh. One of  Webb's son's became so agitated and disruptive he had to be escorted from the courtroom. Webb's attorney, Zoe Shavers, asked Circuit Judge Louis "Duke" Bloom, to consider probation, home confinement and/or drug rehabilitation and counseling for her instead of prison, saying his client turned to drugs to cope, and unfortunately, she won't be able to overcome these problems in prison. Overbaugh's daughter, Janet Armentrout, asked Judge Bloom to incarcerate Webb, saying she has a history of preying on the elderly and has no respect for the law. Webb will be eligible for parole in two and a half years.
