Couple accused of living with decomposing body while cashing Social Security checks

Police in Washington County are looking to arrest a husband and wife accused of living with a decomposing body while cashing the dead person's Social Security checks.

James and Debbie Bebout of Canton Township are charged with felony theft, criminal conspiracy and abuse of a corpse.

Authorities say they were living with the body of James' brother, Michael, for about six months before police discovered the body in January.

Washington police waited to file charges until toxicology results indicated no foul play in Michael's death.
