It's A Gun...Really, It Is...

Two sisters, Brandy (19) and April (23) decided to rob a bank in New Jersey. It must have been a quick decision, because they didn't do much planning.

They had a gun of sorts, and after they were given the cash they demanded, they stuffed it into a backpack. It was too full, however, and split as they were running away from the bank, scattering currency all over the road and into the housing development where they tried to hide. But they had left a fairly obvious trail. They were arrested and charged with armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and theft. The weapon in question was a paint ball gun.
