Woman sentenced Medina bank robbery

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota woman has been sentenced to one year of home confinement for her role in a Medina bank robbery.

The U.S. attorney’s office say 35-year-old Nicole Speed, of Bismarck, provided a handgun that was used in the October 20013 robbery of Northland Financial Bank. Speed pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact.

Authorities say Satrone Boyd and Rendell Hardy walked into the bank wearing clown masks and demanded money at gunpoint. Hardy was sentenced to 12 1/2 years in prison and Boyd was sentenced to 7 1/2 years.

In addition to home confinement, Speed was sentenced to five years of probation and 750 hours of community service. She was ordered to pay back $2,670.
