FL - As a Nassau County woman found out Thursday, it's not the best thing to have practice notes in your purse when professing innocence to a bank heist.
It resulted in Barbara S. Joyner, 59, of Callahan being charged with robbery. She was being held Friday in the Nassau County jail in lieu of $250,002 bail.
Nassau County authorities started talking to Joyner about the Aug. 3 robbery of Bank of America in Callahan after someone tipped the FBI. The heist was pulled off by a woman who drove into the commercial lane of the bank drive-through about 3 p.m. and sent through a note claiming there were snipers all around and someone in the lobby would set off an "acid pack" if a demand for money wasn't met.
The teller complied, turning over about $34,000, and the robber took off in a yellow Nissan, according to a Sheriff's Office report.
Detectives zeroed in on Joyner after some of those at the bank during the holdup identified her from a photo lineup, and it was discovered her husband, who has not been charged, owned a yellow Nissan Xterra, according to reports.
A search of the family's vehicles revealed a notepad with marking similar to those on the note given to the bank teller and inside Joyner's purse were practice notes written on the same notepad, according to a statement by Sheriff Tommy Seagraves Jr. Forzieri
