Palm Reader Fails to Foretell Own Arrest 1 hour, 50 minutes ago Add Strange News - AP to My Yahoo! KENNER, La. - A palm reader arrested last week on allegations of trying to steal $5,000 from a Slidell woman has been accused of swindling $37,000 from a Kenner woman. The second woman called police after reading of the arrest of Lecia Urich, also known as "Sister Jackson," police said Monday. Urich's attorney has contacted police to discuss her surrender, said Capt. Steve Caraway, a police spokesman. Caraway said the customer, an 87-year-old woman, stopped with a relative at Urich's parlor in Kenner, which has a sign featuring a red hand, and asked for a palm reading several weeks ago. Urich allegedly told the woman that she needed to have her money cleansed to shake a curse and offered to do it. The money was never returned, Caraway said. In the other case, Slidell police accused Urich, also known as Lecia Myles, of trying to swindle a woman who asked for a palm reading at the Lacombe Crab Festival on July 5. Police said the woman called them after Urich told her that she was under a curse and officers set up a sting operation at her business. Urich showed up with a banana and a bag of dirt and told the woman that she would bury the money to cleanse it, police said. But as police were closing in, Urich gave the woman her money back and left. She was later booked with attempted theft and freed on $5,000 bond. ___
