Jocelyn Kirsch, half of the “Bonnie and Clyde” dubbed duo from Philadelphia accused of multiple identity theft charges, appeared in federal court today to face a new accusation:  stealing a credit card in California last week, according to an article in The Philadelphia Inquirer.

According to the Inquirer, when Kirsch entered the courthouse, she was “pale-looking … wearing a Penn sweatshirt, sweatpants, and handcuffs.” She is allowed to return to California but will be under house arrest until June 5, when she will be back in court in Philadelphia to plead guilty. While under house arrest, she must report by phone three times a day, wear a monitoring bracelet, take random drug tests, and undergo counseling.

The former Drexel University student had bail set at $50,000 and has been living with her mother in Novato, Marlin County.

The Federal prosecutor, Louis Lappen, said that Kirsch took the credit card of an acquaintance and used it, similarly to some of the earlier Philadelphia charges. U.S. Attorney Patrick L. Meehan called Kirsch and Edward K. Anderton, the “poster children for identity theft.” Meehan is seeking five-year terms for the young couple who allegedly used the names and credit of others to finance a yearlong spending spree totalling $119,000. Authorities have identified at least 16 victims of the couple, including people who had their purses stolen or having multiple accounts under other people’s names and dressing up to withdraw from them.

Anderton was a University of Pennsylvania graduate who worked for Lubert Adler Partners, but was fired in September. Kirsch was suspended from Drexel after her arrest as well.
