MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - A federal judge in Mobile has sentenced a
couple to prison for using homeless people to cash bogus checks at
more than 100 Wal-Mart stores as they traveled the country.

U.S. District Judge William Steele sentenced 36-year-old Scott
Douglas Myers to eight years in prison Monday. He sentenced Myers'
girlfriend, Crystal Bowers, at a separate hearing to three years
and a month.

The couple called themselves "Bonnie and Clyde" after the pair
of bank robbers who gained notoriety during the Great Depression.
Myers and Bowers were accused of stealing nearly $100,000 from 119
Wal-Marts.
