Documents filed in U.S. District Court establish that at noon on May 24, 2013, Denise Dodson drove her husband, Steven Dodson, to the Scott Credit Union to commit a bank robbery. As two employees of Scott Credit Union were filling the outside ATM with money, Steven Dodson approached them on foot wearing a flesh-colored mask and yelled “Get away.” “I have a gun.” The two women stepped back and Steven Dodson walked away from the credit union with the three “cassettes” containing $100,000 of United States currency. Denise Dodson picked Steven Dodson up a short distance from the Scott Credit Union and the two fled the area.

Steven Dodson was also charged and convicted for the bank robbery of Scott Credit Union. He was sentenced to 78 months imprisonment.
