Bonnie Sweeten now in federal custody

Bonnie Sweeten, the Bucks woman who stole from her employer and her ex-husband's ailing grandfather, and then fled after claiming she was kidnapped, is now in federal custody.

A judge gave Bonnie Sweeten 9 to 24 months in prison last year, rejecting guidelines calling for probation. After 10 months in  prison on state charges, Sweeten was released Friday and re-arrested on a slew of federal charges. (David Swanson / Staff Photographer)
