MASON CITY – A woman who helped rob a Mason City bank in 2012 and served a year in prison is wanted on an arrest warrant for violating her parole from prison, sheriff Kevin Pals says.
Emily Elizabeth Francis, age 33 of Mason City, was an accomplice in the February 3rd, 2012 robbery of the 1st Citizens Bank in downtown Mason City. Police have said that just a few minutes before the bank was robbed, a “vague” bomb threat was called into Newman School, potentially diverting police from the bank location.
Francis was later arrested and charged with felony C second degree robbery, felony D submitting false reports to police, and felony D threat of terrorism. Francis then proceeded to plead guilty to felony second degree robbery and felony D false reports for which she was sentenced to 10 years and 5 years in prison, concurrently. The felony charge of terrorism was dismissed. She was ordered to pay Iowa courts $8,312.87 in costs, fees and restitution – she has paid $707.57 so far, records show.
Francis was sent to prison in June of 2012 and then released in June of 2013 and has been seen recently working at a Mason City Hardee’s restaurant after working at a Taco John’s.
Tuesday evening, Cerro Gordo county sheriff Kevin Pals said that Francis is wanted at this time for violating her parole from prison. He asked that anyone with information on Francis’ whereabouts call their local law enforcement agency.
I saw her working at Hardees about a month ago.
She sure didn’t appreciate her second chance now lock her up for the rest of her sentence. People can not blame the government for releasing prisoners early when its us that don’t want our taxes raised to pay for them to sit in jail. Society either has to pay to keep them in jail or change the laws to allow quicker executions.
Either that or start penalizing women for getting pregnant just to get welfare.
So how did we get from releasing prisoners too early to women getting pregnant for money? Just how many women do you personally know that get pregnant just to get on welfare. Do you know several? Do you know even one? Do you have any facts to back up that statement?
You will not get a response from LVS because you asked for facts.
What idiot let her out on parole/ It was a given she will reoffend. No wonder these people keep on breaking the law. There is no penalty for it that amounts to anythinga
The Parole Board. The are appointed by the govenor.
