GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan - Prosecutors call her a "one-grandma crime wave." A 58-year-old grandmother has pleaded guilty to robberies in three states.
Margaret Ann Thomas-Irving of Hartford, Connecticut, faces up to 40 years in prison.
She pleaded guilty in Grand Rapids, Michigan, yesterday to robbing two banks in Michigan. She also admitted to ten robberies in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
The 12 robberies netted a total of $19,312 dollars and occurred between October 2002 and July 2003.
Thomas-Irving was arrested in Lansing, Michigan, on the same day in July that two Lansing banks were robbed. She was in the Lansing area to visit her son, who is a police officer in Bath Township.
Thomas-Irving told the judge her only previous scrape with the law was a speeding ticket. But she said a series of employment problems sent her into a downward mental spiral and she reacted by committing the robberies.

But no matter what you may choose to rob, the income may be good, but the retirement plan isn't very good[:D]
If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!
