From the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky:
LEXINGTON, Ky. -The United States Attorney’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation jointly announced today that Reeta Lerai Dennis, 31, and Becky L. Metcalf, 32, both of Frankfort, Ky. were indicted for bank robbery.
The indictment alleges that on November 5, 2008, Dennis, aided and abetted by Metcalf, took approximately $2,300 from the Lawrenceburg National Bank branch in Danville, Ky. The indictment alleges that Dennis took the money by force, violence, and intimidation from the bank teller.
The investigation preceding the indictment was conducted by the Danville Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Indictment was presented to the grand jury by Assistant United States Attorney Robert M. Duncan, Jr.
A date for the defendants to appear in United States District Court has not yet been set by the Court in Lexington, Ky. If convicted, Dennis and Metcalf each face a maximum prison sentence of 20 years. However, any sentence following conviction would be imposed by the court after consideration of the United States Sentencing Guidelines and the federal statute governing the imposition of sentences.
The indictment of a person by a grand jury is an accusation only, and that person is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
