GALVESTON - A man and his wife who were indicted in a $1.5 million theft from his mother spent the money on a trip to Hawaii, new cars and land, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

Edwin Garrott Armstead, 50, and his wife Mary Armstead, 36, appeared Tuesday in Galveston's 212th District Court, but Judge Susan Criss refused to lower their bonds at the request of their attorney, R.A. Apffel.
