Jacob Dromgoole, 27, of Mantua Township, exited his vehicle and was struck by another car on Mullica Hill Road near Zee Road shortly before 7 a.m., police said.

Brittany Carulli, 25, of Pitman, described by authorities as Dromgoole's girlfriend, was allowed to take shelter from the rain in a Gloucester County EMS ambulance as EMTs worked on her boyfriend.

An EMT later reported her wallet was missing from her purse, which she had kept in the vehicle's center console, police said.

The wallet contained credit and debit cards, her driver's license and $120 cash.

In an interview with police on Monday, Carulli admitted taking the wallet, police said.

She was charged with theft and released on a summons pending a court date.

The wallet and its contents were recovered, except for the cash.

Police have not said why Dromgoole got out of his car and entered the westbound lanes of Mullica Hill Road. He was pronounced dead at the scene after responders attempted to revive him.

The motorist who struck him stopped at the scene and does not face charges, police said.
