A Warren woman who was the first person to be charged under the city’s bestiality law was back in court on a bank robbery charge.
Amber Finney is accused of robbing the Chase Bank on West Market Street. Also facing charges related to the robbery are 30-year-old Richard Williams and a 15-year-old boy.
Police said the robbery happened around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday.
A bank teller told police that a woman — identified in a police report as Finney — handed her a note, demanding money. The teller told her that she could only dispense $1,000 from the machine, so Finney took that and left, according to a police report.
The teller said Finney told her that she didn’t want to hurt her during the robbery.
Police said Finney then met up with a man at the corner of the property. Police said the suspects were arrested after a chase.
A police report does not specify how Williams and the teen were involved in the robbery.
In 2017, Finney was convicted of performing sex acts with a dog. She is on probation for that incident.
Thursday, a not-guilty plea was entered for Finney, and she pleaded not guilty to probation violation charges.
A not-guilty plea was also entered for Williams, who faces a complicity to robbery charge. He also faces a probation violation charge.
Their bonds were set at $50,000 each.
