The teenage girl who robbed a bank in Roland was sentenced to 40 months of imprisonment on Friday.

Sheldon J. Sperling, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, announced that Mallory Renee Waldon, 19, of Murfreesboro, Tenn., was sentenced to 40 months of imprisonment, followed by 36 months of supervised release, for bank robbery. Waldon was also ordered to pay $5,703.00 in restitution.

Waldon and Jonathan Cody Baxter, also of Murfreesboro were accused of robbing the National Bank of Sallisaw Roland Branch on Feb. 26. An investigation by the Sequoyah County Sheriff’s Department, the Fort Smith Police Department, the Amarillo Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation led authorities to Baxter and Waldon. In March, Waldon and Baxter were indicted, and in April both pleaded guilty.

The indictment alleged that on or about Feb. 26, at the Roland Branch of the National Bank of Sallisaw, Waldon approached a teller and handed her a note stating she had a bomb in her purse and she would kill everyone in the bank if the teller did not give her all the money.  After obtaining the money Waldon fled in an awaiting car driven by Baxter. The two were later apprehended in Amarillo, Texas.

James H. Payne, chief judge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, in Muskogee, presided over the hearing.

The defendant remains in the custody of the United States Marshal Service pending transportation to the designated federal prison at which she will serve her non-parolable sentence. Baxter is still awaiting his sentencing.
