A ruthless bank robber has been caught in the act, leaving a trail of fear and destruction in her wake. Fellicia Smith, a 39-year-old North Canton woman, was indicted for four counts of bank robbery.
The indictment alleges that Smith robbed the Fifth Third Bank located in Kent on Dec. 24, 2016, the First National Bank in Boardman on Feb. 18, 2017; the Key Bank in Youngstown on March 31, 2017, and the Key Bank in Findlay on April 3, 2017.
In each robbery, Smith allegedly showed the bank teller a knife and demanded cash, according to the indictment. The brazen crimes left bank employees shaken and customers rattled.
Fellicia Smith, 39, was indicted on four counts of bank robbery. The indictment charges her with robbing the following banks:
- Fifth Third Bank in Kent on Dec. 24, 2016
- First National Bank in Boardman on Feb. 18, 2017
- Key Bank in Youngstown on March 31, 2017
- Key Bank in Findlay on April 3, 2017
The investigation preceding the indictment was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Peter E. Daly.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Fellicia Smith’s sentence will be determined by the Court after review of factors unique to this case, including her prior criminal records, if any, her role in the offense and the characteristics of the violation. In all cases, the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and in most cases it will be less than the maximum.
