Ernest E. Fulton, 63, and Myrna Fulton, 65, of 24 Abraham Drive, Daisytown, Washington County (PA) were arraigned this week on charges they obtained a mortgage by forgery. State police at Uniontown charged each with forgery, identity theft and two counts of criminal conspiracy.

The Fulton’s are accused of forging the identity information of Fern. O Fulton in order to obtain a $121,500 mortgage.

The alleged victim is Fern O. Fulton, 84, of the Normalville section of Springfield Township. She is the mother of Ernest Fulton and the mother-in-law of Myrna Fulton. Fern Fulton lives in Normalville with her son and daughter-in-law, Marvin and Tillie Fulton.

Myrna Fulton told Pierce that she and her husband spoke with Fern Fulton about the loan several times while she was living in a personal care home last year, according to an affidavit of probable cause. She also said the couple needed the loan because their home is under foreclosure, according to the document.
