Winnie, Thursday -- A woman walked into a credit union, produced a pistol, and pulled off a successful robbery.

[The Cambers County Sheriff] described the woman as white, having long, dark brown hair, standing 5 feet tall and weighing 110 pounds.

Winnie is a small town on I-10 between Houston and Beaumont. This credit union is ideally situated for a quick getaway, maybe a mile from the entrance ramps of the interstate.

I'm all for equal rights in the workplace!

In the video from KFDM in Beaumont, the woman is holding the gun by the barrel...

Thanks for digging up that video.

If I had to guess, I would say that the pistol is an AirSoft gun. The way she was waving it around, it didn't seem to have the heft of a real, loaded pistol.

I never thought I would say this, but she needs to watch more crime shows.

Looks like they had the wrong lady (24 year old) first, then arrested a husband and wife team.

Just in case the Beaumont Enterprise story goes away, the original suspect, the local woman, was released. A man and woman from Louisiana with a history of armed robbery were arrested, and the man essentially confessed.

Looks like I was right about the quick-off-quick-on route on I-10.
