This month, Molly Hutmacher, 23, was given a term of probation after she pleaded guilty to attempted bank robbery. A charge of neglect of a dependent was dismissed.
According to court documents, Hutmacher drove her boyfriend, Boester, to the Freedom Financial Credit Union at 1802 Inwood Drive in November.
Boester went in to rob the credit union, but a customer elbowed him and then chased him outside. The customer then memorized the license plate number of the vehicle driven by Hutmacher, according to court documents.
