Bail remains $500,000 for 'Granny Bandit'
FONTANA -- A judge denied a request for reduced bail today for the accused robber dubbed the "Granny Bandit," who allegedly committed four robberies last month over four days.
Dodi Wasbotten's bail was set at $500,000 after prosecutors filed criminal charges against her.
An attorney for the 51-year-old Fontana woman, whose nickname stems from initial descriptions provided by victims, asked Judge Phillip Morris to lower Wasbotten's bail during a hearing in Fontana Superior Court.
"(Deputy Public Defender Isaac) Rees argued that Ms. Wasbotten has a minimal criminal record and strong ties to the community," Deputy District Attorney Douglas Schaller said.
Morris ordered that bail remain set at $500,000 because it's the standard bail for a person charged with four counts of robbery, Schaller said.
Wasbotten is next due in court July 5, Schaller said.
According to police, Wasbotten robbed shoppers in Fontana in parking lots of two different Target stores, a Wal-Mart and a Kohl's store.
She was arrested on May 11, about an hour after her final alleged robbery, when a Fontana crime analyst on her lunch break recognized Wasbotten's car from descriptions of the accused robber's vehicle.
