Crime

On April 19th, 2024, 74-year-old Ann Mayer walked into the AurGroup Credit Union in Hamilton, Ohio, at around 1 pm, but she wasn’t there to make a transaction; she was there to rob the place.

She pulled out a gun and demanded money. After getting a handful of cash, she left the property and fled the scene in a 2014 Hyundai Elantra. As she escaped, she threw some of her clothes out the window.

Police showed up at her home a few hours after the crime and arrested her. She immediately confessed to what she had done, saying, “I did whatever you’re here for.”

Authorities saw the vehicle she used during the crime. Inside it was a handgun and five hundred and sixty-eight dollars.

Mayers, who had no criminal history, was charged with aggravated robbery with a firearm and tampering with evidence. He bond was set at $100,000.

After further investigation, it was revealed that Mayers was likely a victim of a scam.

She had borrowed $5,000 from her sister and $65,000 from a friend and sent the money to an unidentified person who claimed to be involved with US Customs. Mayers claimed she robbed the bank out of desperation to recover the money.

Legal Proceedings

On September 10th, 2024, Myers pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. The tampering-with-evidence charge was dismissed. She was facing up to 17 and a half years in prison.

On October 14th, 2024, she was sentenced to 3 years for the robbery and 1 year for a gun specification. She got credit for the 180 days she already served. She will be on supervised release for two years when she gets out.

She is serving her sentence at the Dayton Correctional Institution in Dayton, OH. Her release date is scheduled for April 17th, 2028.
