Woman Indicted On Second Bank Robbery Charge
A Brooksville woman, al- ready in jail on a bank robbery charge, has been indicted for a second crime. She was ar- rested last month in connec- tion with a bank robbery in Plant City.
According to the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office, shortly before closing on March 24, 2015, a woman walked into the Brannen Bank in Floral City and spoke to employees about opening an account.
After being told the bank was about to close, the woman pulled a firearm and placed the employees in the vault. She took an undisclosed amount of money and fled the scene.
In February 2016, a bank in Plant City was robbed by a suspect fitting the same de- scription and the same method of operation. The Fed- eral Bureau of Investigation took the lead in both investi- gations.

Investigators said Har- rouff had joined his family for dinner at the restaurant when he stormed off, appar- ently agitated about slow service. His parents were so concerned about his behavior they called police and some of his fraternity brothers in a futile attempt to find him be- fore the attack.
