The same court documents claim that Hunsucker is accused of poisoning his wife Stacy Robinson Hunsucker with eyedrops and submitting false information to an insurance company.

Hunsucker then cremated her before filing for her $250,000 life insurance policy two days after she died.

It is believed he received an insurance payout of over $200,000, but due to her being an organ donor, some of her blood was kept after her death.

Among the other charges made against Hunsucker are allegations that he falsely accused another man of kidnapping him.
