The couple accused of stealing $239,000 from Washington Mutual Bank in Ogden in March pleaded guilty in federal court Friday.

Amy Leigh Engle, 22, and Bernie Frank Bringhurst, 26, appeared before U.S. Magistrate Ronald Boyce. They pleaded guilty to bank larceny and will be sentenced Oct. 3.

Engle and Bringhurst were married last month at the Davis County Correctional Facility. They wanted to be husband and wife so that after serving their prison sentences, they can live together.
