Stolen funeral home check charges dropped PDF Print E-mail

VIRGINIA BEACH — Charges were withdrawn Tuesday against a woman accused of stealing at least $45,000 in checks from her husband’s funeral home.

Vivian M. Thomasson was charged in July 2004 with six felony counts of obtaining money under false pretenses. Thomasson’s attorney, William P. Robinson Jr., said Tuesday that his client was relieved to have the charges removed.

“She wants to get on with her life and her career,” Robinson said.

Virginia Beach Commonwealth’s Attorney Harvey L. Bryant III said the charges were withdrawn because evidence in the case “was determined not to be as strong as it should be.”

The crimes were said to have occurred when Thomasson cashed insurance checks meant for her husband’s P.G. Thomasson Funeral Services , which at the time was on Bonney Road .

Thomasson was the company’s secretary-treasurer but was removed in 1998 .

Once she left the office, she was no longer allowed to cash the company’s checks, police said.
