Child OK After Falling From Moving Vehicle During Theft

A couple have pleaded not guilty to charges including child endangerment and larceny after police say their 5-year-old fell from their moving SUV as they tried to steal a TV.

Twenty-nine-year-old Lisa Degerolamo and 29-year-old Daniel McLaughlin of West Yarmouth were arraigned Monday in Falmouth District Court. Bail for each was set at $2,500. Their attorneys declined to comment outside court.

Police say Degerolamo was seen stuffing a large flat-screen TV stolen from a Falmouth Walmart into the SUV's back seat on Sunday. As the vehicle drove away, the boy fell from a door that had been left ajar because of the size of the television.

The driver stopped, put the child back in the vehicle, and then sped off. Police say the boy is OK and in state care.
