Woman Attempts Drive-Through Bank Robbery While Riding In Rented Limo

Authorities said Evonne D. Maurice had a limousine take her to a Citizens Bank branch in Cranston and told the driver she needed to withdraw cash to pay for the ride.

Then she walked up to the window and handed the teller an envelope with a note demanding money and saying there were two bombs in the bank.

The teller triggered an alarm, and Maurice got back in the limo without any money and was driven away.

The driver was unaware of the December 1, 2005, robbery attempt, prosecutors said.

Maurice was arrested in Tampa, Florida Prosecutors said she told police there that she robbed banks to pay the drug-dealing debts of her and her boyfriend.

The Westbrook, Connecticut, woman faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

An attorney for Maurice did not immediately return a call for comment Wednesday.

JOKESTARTERS:

• No word yet on what transportation the suspect will be taking to get to prison, but we at Jokestarter are pretty sure it ain’t gonna be no limo.
• Last time there was this much stupidity involving a limo was when Paris Hilton got a ride over to Lindsay Lohan’s pad.
