MN Woman Suspected In 2 N.D Bank Robberies Pleads Not Guilty

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — A Crookston, Minnesota, woman accused of robbing two banks across the North Dakota border in Grand Forks has pleaded not guilty in federal court.

Thirty-nine-year-old Charlene Corona was indicted earlier on two federal bank robbery charges and entered her pleas Wednesday. She's been ordered held until her trial beginning May 3.

Corona also goes by the last name Espinoza. She's accused of robbing a Bremer Bank on Sept. 30, 2015, and Citizen's Community Credit Union 12 days later.

There were no customers in either business at the time of the robberies, and no one was hurt.
