Mark D’Amico, Kate McClure and Johnny Bobbitt all face charges for fraudulently crowdfunding money.
The couple from New Jersey went viral after using GoFundMe to raise money for a homeless man who helped them get gas for their vehicle.
They raised more than $400,000 with the campaign.
The individuals involved kept donors from getting information “that would affect their judgement about solicited contribution to that fundraising effort”.
After the money was raised, Bobbitt eventually sued the couple for misusing the money. D’Amico and McClure accused Bobbitt of blowing money on drugs and personal bills.
The couple has turned themselves in to authorities, but it is not certain whether the homeless man Bobbitt has done so.
