Infamous relatives

Some days I can't find much to blog about and some days things just fall into my lap from the local paper.
The other day Fleta and me were talking about our blogs and sister expressed the opinion that we should not put anything personal about family on our blog. I agreed with her but now I am breaking that rule since this is my husbands relatives and not my blood kin.
Miss Robert's is the granddaughter of my husband's niece, Shirley Gillion!
Harrison Police Capt. Paul Woodruff said a man and woman were taken into custody Wednesday afternoon in connection with the robbery of First National Bank of Green Forest earlier in the day. They were arrested as they attempted to leave the city about 2 p.m.Late Monday night, Woodruff released the names of those individuals.
The bank teller put money in the bag and Carmen fled the bank, driving away in the Dodge Stratus. He then drove to the nearby Windstream parking lot, where he put the license plate back on the car. Roberts then picked him up in another car, Woodruff said, and they went back to their residence on North Cherry Street.Police located the vehicle and began surveillance. At some point during that time, Carmen and Roberts returned to the parking lot, but left when they spotted a surveillance officer and went back home Woodruff said.By that time, police had identified the owner of the Dodge and had even determined where the pair lived. Police then started watching that house.After Carmen and Roberts left the Windstream parking lot, Woodruff said, they went home and repeatedly called a taxi service requesting a ride to the airport in Springfield, Mo.As police were preparing to make contact with the suspects in the house, the taxi arrived and Carmen and Roberts got in with their baggage. Police then initiated a traffic stop and arrested the suspects, but Woodruff said the taxi driver was unaware of the robbery incident earlier in the day.“[The driver] had no idea what they had done,” Woodruff said.After searching bags the two suspects had taken into the taxi vehicle, Woodruff said police recovered the clothing Carmen wore in the bank, as well as money still in the bag. Woodruff said Roberts also had a sum of money in her pocket.

If I can't talk about family, I don't have much to talk about.
