Up until her last robbery, her prison term may have been light, depending on her arrest record, and she certainly would have qualified for the America’s Dumbest Criminals TV Show; However during her last robbery, the woman opened up her purse and showed a gun to a teller while again still engaged in a conversation on her cell phone. This time though, it’s a felony involving a dangerous weapon, a minimum of seven to ten year prison term in the state penitentiary.
Who is she talking to? Police think she may have been talking to someone who is either a lookout or another armed accomplice not visible to bank staffers or customers. Or, maybe she’s just a gabber and talking to anyone who will listen.
Her name is Candice R. Martinez, 19, from Centreville, VA , and she could face trial on robbery charges involving four Wachovia Bank branches located in three northern Virginia counties. She has been arrested and was ordered held without bond, while a federal grand jury considers bank robbery charges against her.
She stole $48,000 in the four robberies and only $15,000 in merchandise and $2,000 cash has been recovered. Her boyfriend, Dave C. Williams, 19, of Harrisonburg , was charged separately. Court papers suggested he worked at one of the banks that was robbed.
Court documents have shown the couple wrote the notes she gave to the tellers. Investigators said Williams admitted driving the getaway car each time, and being on the other end of the phone with Martinez. Martinez will face up to 20 years in federal prison for each robbery. She also could face 10 years for a weapons charge.
A THOUGHT: Update: In early March the jury found her guilty as charged, the courts sentenced her to 12 years in prison. Rapists and Murderers don’t get that much time!
