Judge lowers bond in Saucier bank robbery case
GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) – A judge has reduced bond and stipulated help for a 29-year-old Saucier woman accused in the robberies of two banks using butcher knives and wearing a disguise.
The Sun Herald reports Brittnei Farmer faced a $100,000 bond in the April 8 armed robbery of The Peoples Bank in Saucier.
Justice Court Judge Melvin Ray cut the bond to $50,000 in a hearing at the Harrison County jail Wednesday.
Ray stipulated Farmer must seek help as a condition of her release.
The family recently asked an Ocean Springs judge to let her get help in a hearing in the Aug. 3 robbery of Hancock Bank on U.S. 90. She was arrested in D’Iberville four hours after the Ocean Springs holdup.
The charge in each case is armed robbery.
