NEW LONDON, Conn. – A state judge who handed out a 30-month prison sentence for the 2006 robbery at Charter Oak FCU faced the woman who carried out that heist in court again yesterday–this time for allegedly robbing six banks in six days last month through Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut while on parole for the earlier crime.
“If memory serves me correctly I sentenced you in that case,” Judge Susan Handy told 34-year-old Heather Brown at yesterday arraignment on charges for the latest robbery spree.
Brown was sentenced in May 2007 to 30 months in prison and ordered to undergo drug treatment for the 2006 robbery at Charter Oak. She was paroled on May 22 of this year. Authorities said she had a drug relapse when she started robbing banks again.
