Woman gets 4 years in restaurant robberies

BALTIMORE (AP) — A Gaithersburg woman has been sentenced to more than four years in prison for conspiring to rob four fast-food restaurants.

Twenty-four-year-old Marvel Alegria was also ordered to pay nearly $25,000 in restitution at sentencing Tuesday in federal court in Baltimore.

According to her plea agreement, Alegria was fired as general manager at a Chipotle restaurant in Mount Airy. Prosecutors say Alegria and her boyfriend plotted to rob that restaurant and others, and that she drove her boyfriend to two of the robberies.

The boyfriend, 26-year-old Lamont Bonds of Gaithersburg, pleaded guilty to his role in the robberies and will be sentenced on Nov. 24.
