Bank Robbery Lands Woman in Jail
A Marianna, Pennsylvania resident was sentenced to prison time for her involvement in a string of bank robberies across West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
Jessica Crawford, 32, was sentenced on April 4, 2013, in United States District Court by Chief Judge John Preston Bailey for her role in the robbery of the United Bank on Three Springs Drive in Weirton, West Virginia, on December 3, 2010.
Crawford entered a guilty plea on November 30, 2012, to the charge of Bank Robbery. She was sentenced to 51 months imprisonment to be followed by five years of supervised release and ordered to make restitution in the amount of $31,846.
According to the investigation, Crawford was the getaway driver in most of the robberies, which included two robberies of the Charleroi Federal Savings Bank in Bentleyville, Pennsylvania, in September 2010, two robberies of PNC Bank in Redstone Twp., Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in October 2010, and a robbery of Huntington Bank, Cheat Lake Branch, in Morgantown, West Virginia, in November 2010.
Crawford’s boyfriend at the time, Rudolph Todd Haladyna, was previously sentenced to 20 years imprisonment for his involvement in the robberies.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Robert H. McWilliams, Jr. and investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the West Virginia State Police, and the Weirton Police Department. Crawford was remanded to the custody of the United States Marshal pending designation to a Federal institution.
