Two days later, the mother said that Gray admitted to the $5,000 theft and gave a man $3,000, the complaint says. The man is identified in the complaint, but it does not specify his relationship to the women.
Ryan requests in the complaint that Gray pay back the $2,000 she allegedly still owes to the mother.
The complaint was approved April 18 and Gray was taken into custody.
Gray, of 343 E. Nesquehoning St., was arraigned recently by on-duty District Judge Diane Marakovits of Northampton and released on $5,000 unsecured bail.
