SACRAMENTO â Three Northern California people received a five-count indictment, charged with bank robbery and conspiracy to commit bank robbery in Sacramento and several cities in the San Francisco Bay Area , prosecutors said Wednesday. The defendants were Dontae Jones, Jr., 20, Yasmin Millett, 21, and Richmond resident JoMya Mauriyne Futch, 21, the U.S. Attorney's Office Eastern District of California said. Jones and Millett are from Northern California but have no fixed addresses.
Millett allegedly even advertised the conspiracy on social media, posting images of herself and other participants holding large amounts of cash. Jones and Millett, during at least one instance, held a woman at gunpoint and forced her to commit a robbery against her will, prosecutors said. Another instance involved a minor. Futch was one of those people who were recruited through Instagram, prosecutors said. With the others, she conspired to commit at least two bank robberies.
