Woman pleads guilty in Phoenix luggage thefts
PHOENIX — A woman accused of stealing up to 1,000 pieces of luggage from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport with her husband has pleaded guilty to theft and other charges.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 39-year-old Stacy Legg-King originally was charged with 27 counts of theft, drug charges and tampering with evidence. She entered a guilty plea Monday on two counts of theft, trafficking stolen property and drug violations.
Legg-King’s sentencing date is July 19.
Legg-King and 61-year-old Keith King were arrested in November after police alleged that she stole luggage from a baggage claim carousel. Police say a search of the couple’s home in Waddell, northwest of Phoenix, revealed many suitcases without tags.
Keith King is due in court July 13.
