JEANNETTE, Pa. — Five golden rings have made it home to a western Pennsylvania family in time for Christmas.
Jennifer Maffit and her husband, Raymond, noticed the rings missing Dec. 16 after opening their Jeannette home to a man who had been released from a drug rehabilitation program.
The rings included Jennifer Maffit’s engagement ring and her husband’s wedding band. The band has special significance for the family because it was the ring the couple slipped onto their son’s wrist after he was born 12 weeks premature.
The Maffits tell the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review they found the rings at a nearby pawn shop. Jeannette police soon arrested the former houseguest and charged him with theft.
Thirty-two-year-old William David Hays is being held on $7,500 bail. It was not clear if he had an attorney.
