As deputies searched the couple's car, they found a book titled "The Crime Book."

The book is advertised as being "an essential guide to criminology," according to deputies. 

"Our review? Zero out of five stars," the Facebook post reads. "We would not recommend this book to anyone especially Richard or Pierce as their criminal record has proven their 'studies' to be a complete and total waste of their time."

Richard is facing a retail theft charge and other charges related to active warrants. Her bond is set at $6,500. Pierce is also facing a shoplifting charge and is being held on an out-of-county arrest warrant. He has no bond.
