(Washington Co., PA)  —  A Pennsylvania man is going to trial after allegedly stealing rings from his mother and swallowing them. Fifty-three-year-old Robert Spriggs of Washington County is accused of swiping two 30-thousand-dollar rings last month from his elderly mother.  Officers say he then swallowed the valuable jewelry while being questioned about the crime in an effort to hide the evidence.  The rings were recovered later at a county jail cell and Spriggs has been ordered to stand trial.
