Alaska, USA - Eight children whose candy was taken from them at gunpoint by two women on Halloween in Talkeetna, according to Alaska State Troopers, testified Thursday before a grand jury.
Two women -- Kendra Grace Butts, 18, and Amber Marie Martin, 20, both of Wasilla -- were indicted Friday on seven counts of robbery, one of attempted robbery and eight of assault. If convicted, they face a maximum of 180 years each in prison. The minimum sentence for robbery with a gun in Alaska is seven years.
The District Attorney's office added the attempted robbery charge Friday after learning from Alaska State Troopers that one child in the incident refused to surrender the candy. Troopers originally reported seven children were robbed that night on Main Street but Friday said they learned an eighth child hid behind a tree during the incident.
Recordings of phone calls to Butts and Martin from their boyfriends in jail detailed for troopers the two women's involvement in the Halloween stickup, according to an affidavit filed in the case against Butts.
