From staff reports
A second person has been charged in connection with a robbery in Franklin in March.
Polk police said in a criminal complaint that Stephanie Sherman, 34, of Franklin, bought a gun March 4 at Maurer’s Trading Post that was used by her boyfriend, Justin Simpson, 27, in a robbery later that day.
The complaint said Sherman, who was holding her baby during the robbery, was with Simpson at the time of the robbery in a garage along Daylily Drive when Simpson took $600 from a woman.
Sherman called the woman obscene names while Simpson yelled at her to go away and not come back, the complaint said.
Sherman was charged with two felony counts of robbery-threat of immediate serious injury, and her preliminary hearing is scheduled Wednesday in Venango County Central Court.
Simpson has pleaded guilty to charges of theft by unlawful taking of movable property and simple assault. Some other charges against him were dropped.
