A Dead Person's Credit Card? Why Not?

A police arrested a man who allegedly used dead people's credit cards for purchases, and the twist is that the man is a police officer. Officer Eduardo Saillant apparently would take the credit cards investigating the elderly people's deaths. Back in May, gas and Home Depot charges appeared a dead man's Visa bill, so his sister contacted the police. The investigation led to Saillant, who didn't do anything unusual until this past week, when he charged gas on the card of an 89 year old woman whose death he and his partner had investigated. The Post reports that when Saillant's car was searched, a long-missing police radio was also found.

Saillant was released on his own recognizance; he was also suspended from the police force.
