Woman used limo during robbery, gets 3 years
Rhode Island ? A woman who traveled in a limousine to a botched bank robbery attempt probably won’t get such swank transportation to her next destination: prison.
Evonne D. Maurice, 22, was sentenced Friday to more than three years in prison for trying to rob a Citizens Bank branch at a drive-up window while using a hired limousine as a getaway car.
Prosecutors say Maurice hired a limo in December 2005 to take her to T.F. Green Airport in Warwick, but then told the driver she had missed her flight and needed to visit a bank so she could withdraw money to pay for the ride.
Maurice exited the limousine, walked up to the drive-up window and handed the teller a note demanding money and saying there were bombs in the bank, prosecutors said. But the teller triggered an alarm, and Maurice got back in the limo and left without any money.
