A U.S. grand jury charges on Omaha woman with robbing a bank in August. The woman was arrested a short time later shopping at a drugstore across the street.

Officials say this is not the first time Eva Fisher has been arrested while shopping shortly after a bank robbery. Lincoln police say she walked into a bank in Lincoln five years ago and did the same thing. Ms Fisher was sentenced to three to five years in prison for that robbery, after she was found just a few stores away.

In the current case, authorities say Ms Fisher entered a U.S. Bank branch in Omaha and presented the teller with a note demanding cash. She left with an undisclosed amount of money, but police say she then went across the street to a drugstore.

She was arrested and returned to the bank, where employees identified her.

In an indictment announced Thursday, a grand jury charged Ms Fisher with bank robbery. She faces up to 20-years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release if she’s convicted as charged.
