Woman Indicted for Robbing Guaranty Bank in Roseville

MINNEAPOLIS—Earlier today in federal court, a 50-year-old woman was indicted for the September 14, 2010, robbery of the Guaranty Bank in Roseville. Michelle Lynn Matthew, no known address, was charged with one count of bank robbery. The indictment alleges that on September 14, Matthew stole approximately $3,313 from the bank.

If convicted, Matthew faces a potential maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. All sentences will be determined by a federal district court judge.

This case is the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Roseville Police Department, and the St. Paul Police Department. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Lola Velazquez-Aguilu.

An indictment is a determination by a grand jury that there is probable cause to believe that offenses have been committed by a defendant. A defendant, of course, is presumed innocent until he or she pleads guilty or is proven guilty at trial.
