'Weathergirl' suspect to stay inside
A federal judge has ordered the suspected "Weathergirl Bandit" to remain in jail without bail for awhile.
Felicia Ellen Jones, 45, of Los Angeles is suspected in three bank robberies in Manhattan Beach and another in Hermosa Beach. She told investigators she turned to crime to fund her drug habit and pay her bills.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Rosalyn Chapman on Thursday set Jones' arraignment for April
21 in U.S. District Court in downtown Los Angeles.
The "Weathergirl Bandit'' got her nickname because she chatted with tellers and other customers about the weather as she robbed the banks.
